Just about anything that will hold soil may be used as a planter and container gardens are easy and fun.

You will also be able to move plants into the ‘limelight’ when they come into bloom, or into the background somewhere when they are finished.

You will also be able to grow acid loving plants in an area of alkaline soil and vice versa. Remember though, that when you are growing plants in pots or planters, that those plants are much more dependent on you to provide their necessities in life.

It is important for the plant’s health that pay close attention to watering and feeding requirements of the plant.
