Container Gardening
Great advice from a well respected permaculturist and earth activist.
I find the key to success in containers is renewing them with actively
aerated compost tea or at least worm castings and/or worm tea - soemthing to
keep the biological life in the soil, as they tend to be rather dead soils
that dry out fast. I use an organic potting mix that I buy by the
truckload. — Love Starhawk
I am new to container gardening, always used raised beds along with intensive companion plantings before so I made the mistake of isolating one type of plant per container which seemed to make my plants more vulnerable to pests, not a good thing to do.
Also good advice. Be sure to put several containers together with different companion plants or plant 2 or 3 companion plants in one container.
