container gardeneing made easy

I can't say enough about the benefits of container gardening. It is the least expensive, easiest, and quickest way to update your landscape. When choosing your container opt for larger rather than smaller-smaller containers will dry out quicker during the heat of the summer. Make sure to choose a potting mix or soil versus a garden soil. Potting mix contains additives like perlite and peat moss which lighten the mix but also improve moisture retention. The sky is the limit when choosing plants to containerize. Look to ornamental grasses, shrubs, perennials in addition to the traditional annuals. Choose plants that are aesthetically pleasing to you-let color, texture, and light requirements be your guide. Have fun and know that there are no wrong choices, only endless possibilities.
