Mastering Container Gardening

Mastering Container Gardening

Container gardening refers to the method of growing edible and non-edible plants in containers or pots rather than growing them in the ground. In the past, container gardening was only confined to pots, but now boxes, baskets and barrels are used in container gardening as well. Container gardening can benefit an amateur or professional gardener in many ways. Container gardening is the best way to avoid plant diseases. Plants are prone to get affected with diseases if they are planted in the same soil for more than a year. This can be avoided through container gardening by simply changing the soil in the container every year. Container gardening is also a great way to reduce pests compared to traditional ground gardening.
