Container Gardening
Benefits of Growing Your Food and It is a space-efficient area, choose to set up your garden.
Vegetables that are ideally suited for growing in containers include tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green onions, beans, lettuce, squash, radishes, and parsley. Pole beans and cucumbers also do well in this type of garden, but they do require considerably more space because of their vining growth habit.
A soil depth of at least 8 inches/ 20 cm will hold sufficient soil, nutrients, and moisture to support a good yield from almost every vegetable and herb growing in a container. (Expect to water two or three times per week.) Smaller containers holding less soil may require more frequent watering and fertilizing.
Untreated natural wood, such as cedar, redwood, or teak, is a natural option when it comes to safe containers for growing vegetables. These containers are appealing in almost any landscape.
Using plastic containers to grow food is fine - provided you know which plastics to use. Some plastics are harmful and leach toxins to the soil especially when they are heated or exposed to sunlight or prolonged periods of time.
