Benefits of container gardening. Why Grow in Containers?

<center
Container gardening is a little different from the traditional way of doing gardening, i.e, planting in direct soil. Here are a few inherent benefits of container gardening:

• It can be the best gardening option for the beginners. Even a rookie can start gardening in very little time.
• Container gardening can be very economical. You don’t need to waste much more time and money in starting with normal garden.
• When you grow in a pot, you can save a lot of costs that involved preparation of soil bed, weeding, fertilizing, finding a suitable area for gardening etc. You can start just with a single pot, little bit of soil or soilless mix, and some seeds or just one or two seedlings.
• You don’t need big space to do container gardening. You can use your terrace, balcony, doorsteps, windowsills etc., to grow fresh nutritious vegetables. Just make sure you are getting ample sunlight there.
• Growing in pots liberates you from the geographical restraints (a very common phenomenon in the traditional garden). You can grow any plant in anywhere in the world which earlier was never thought of. As they say, “you can grow Cactus in Alaska” by using container gardening method.
• There is almost no plant that you cannot grow in a container. Vegetables, herbs, flowers plants, even trees can be grown through container gardening. You just need the container of appropriate size.
• Portability is another big advantage of container gardening. Bring your plants to the study room while teaching your child Botany to give some live examples. Bringing plants inside the room also increases the air quality.
• And finally, if you have space constraints, “Growing in pots” is the best available solution to your problem.
