Container vegetable gardening

Container vegetable gardeningShort Description
Almost any type of container can be used if it provides good drainage through holes in the bottom or around the sides near the bottom. If adding holes, drill four or more 1/4-inch holes evenly spaced around the container bottom. To further help drainage, put about 1/2-inch of coarse gravel, small stones, or pieces of a broken clay pot in the bottom. These items are not a substitute for drainage holes.
