Download or read book Container Gardening Secrets for the No Thumbs Gardener written by William Ellis and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a large yard these days does not necessarily mean that gardening is the only thing that homeowners can do. As long as the care given to the plants you grow in a pot equals the care you would give to an ordinary garden, you can grow almost anything in a suitable container. You may have heard that any container can be used to grow your plants. However, when compared, there are some materials that are considerably better and easier to use -- particularly for folks who are just getting into container gardening. Containers made from cheap plastic will ofttimes weaken and fade away in the sunshine. Although lightweight, this type of plastic was not designed for lasting useage. It is important that whatever container you use for your herb or flower garden, the surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before anything is planted. This becomes even more important if the container you acquire is secondhand, just in case prior plantings were possibly diseased. One great thing about container gardening is that you are able to move the pots around to more favorable locations if they don't thrive in a particular spot. Plants can be established indoors, then easily moved to larger pots and placed outdoors when the time is appropriate. William Ellis has learned the art of saving money in all aspect of his life. Learning about container gardening was a bonus for him. He initially made the mistake of spending too much money.
