The Advantages and Disadvantages of Container Gardens
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a backyard or a large garden. But it’s heartening to know that with the help of container gardens, gardening enthusiasts have the option to grow vegetables of their own free will. The box garden is a gift for everyone who is passionate about gardens but lacks the necessary space.
The indoor vegetable garden is not just a secondary option to the garden, it is a positive option for a variety of reasons. In the first place, these containers or urns are easily found in the kitchen, making the whole environment appear more pleasant and safe for the smallest members of the family. In addition to being productive, these boxed gardens serve two other purposes: they add to the home’s décor and also make it look elegant. Small garden pots can be placed around the porch, adding a green look to the boring urban image.
It’s understandable that there are some restrictions to the expectations of a container garden: the first is the size of the plant that will grow in it. The best options are radishes, carrots, lettuce and the like. Small crop plants can also be grown in an indoor garden. For example tomato and pepper do not require much space. A plus point is that in a container of approximately 24″ to 30″ plants such as tomato, parsley and cucumber can grow at the same time without the need for sunlight or additional humidity. The urn thus becomes an authentic living and fresh salad bowl.
No additional arrangement is required for these urn gardens. The containers can be anything: a jug, a bucket, a basket, a wooden box or the typical flowerpot. Discarded bushels, wash tubs, large food cans, window plants, and nurseries may also be enough to build your indoor garden.
Following the same principles of an indoor garden, aquatic plants can also be grown. However, the main purpose of the inner green patch is decorative. Depending on the size of the pot, you can plant a sweet or yellow flag lily combined with a giant calla lily arrowhead. Unlike gardens, there are no set specifications for water gardens. Both water gardens and container gardens are fairly easy to grow and are definitely worth a try for those with a passion for gardening.
