For container gardening, use a soil-less potting mixture that consists of peat moss, fine bark chips and pearlite to create adequate drainage and circulation for root development.

Update on the container garden. The plants got plenty of rain water this week and I used collected rain run off as well, so they are doing better. The tomatoes are finally getting bigger and putting on fruit. I’m having a problem with squash bugs though so I don’t think I will get any squash variety veggies this time. Peas and beans are starting to grow. I’m seeing a few more sprouts. Tire potatoes are doing well but one isn’t growing. Cucumbers are starting to vine nice and I have baby cucs putting on. See my pickles video if you haven’t seen it yet. Watermelon and honey dew are doing well. White runners didn’t grow as well as I had planned. I figure on the beans, even if they don’t produce a big crop, I can save the seeds for next year as they are heirloom organic. be back next week with another update.

Avoid all chemical or synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. This will not only ensure that your soil stays naturally organic but it also relieves the worry of harm to your family and pets should they come in contact with these dangerous …
I have a container garden on a terrace and I just bought Miracle Grow Organic Choice soil – but now I realize it says “not for containers” on the packaging. Why is this? Can I mix it with potting soil that i have and still use it in my containers? I’d rather not lug these bags back to the store..
With container gardens, keep in mind that planting the container is only the first step to success. To keep them looking good, make sure to water, fertilize and deadhead properly.
