Container Garden Must Haves
18
items I moved to the country a few years ago. Loving the slower pace of life, I decided to start a small container garden. It started out really small, but as I have added more and more items over the years it has turned into a full-fledged herb and vegetable affair. Now, every year, I look forward to planting, watering, watching them grow, and my favorite part - harvesting and eating! These are some of the favorite things I used with my small container garden that I continue to use. Using these items, along with water and plenty of sunshine, can provide you with a better quality of food than you will ever purchase from a grocery store.
These are strong and I have been able to use some of them year after year. The clearness allows you to see the roots grow so you can tell when it's time to transplant to a larger growing area. They can also be dropped easily into a flower pot, keeping the pot cleaner than it would be if you filled it with dirt.
