Container gardening is the
practice of growing plants exclusively in containers or "pots", instead of
planting them in the ground. In some cases, this method of growing is used
for ornamental purposes. This method is also useful in areas where the soil
is unsuitable for the plant or crop in question. Limited growing space can
also make this option appealing to the gardener.
 Many
types of plants are suitable for the container, including decorative
flowers, herbs, vegetables, and small trees. There are many advantages to
growing plants in containers, namely:
* Less risk of soil-borne disease
* Virtually eliminate weed problems
* Mobile plants gives more control over moisture, sunlight & temperature
 Containers
range from simple plastic pots, teacups to complex automatic-watering
irrigation systems. This flexibility in design is another reason container
gardening is popular with growers. They can be found on porches, front
steps, and in urban locations, on rooftops.
