Container gardening is a great innovation of gardening. It is limited only by your imagination. If you have somewhere to put them you can grow almost anything in containers. Container gardens are perfect for small yards, balconies and wherever you want to add color and interest. Container gardening follows the same principle as potted plants, but you can grow more than just ferns and flowers. Container plants are widely used in today s residential and commercial urban landscapes. Container gardening offers a wonderful opportunity to allow your creative imagination to run wild.

With organic container gardening, you won't have any sub-soil to help retain water which in turn prevents the roots from becoming too wet. The best way to correct this problem is with simple peat moss. Peat moss can either be used alone or added to your organic soil along with compost or composted manure and the result is an excellent soil mixture for organic container gardening.

Put your imagination to the test as just about anything that will hold soil and water can be used for organic container gardening. While some gardeners prefer to take the natural route and use pots made from clay or wood, you are really only limited by your own resourcefulness.

Although, pots and containers that won't fall apart when they get wet and that will also drain properly work best for organic container gardening. If needed, you could always drill holes into the bottom of the container and then add about an inch or so of gravel to aid with drainage. Also, a few layers of torn newspaper or leaf mold atop the gravel will help retain water just enough to keep the soil moist as well.

With the use of organic container gardening, you can plant the same plants and vegetables that you would in any other garden such as tomatoes, peppers, beans or herbs. The key is using containers appropriate in size to what you are planting. For instance, zucchini plants will need the same amount of room in the container as they do out in the garden, so be sure to have something that will allow the plant room to grow healthily.
