HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING
Short Description
Gardening means different things to different people. Thousands view gardening as a hobby, a relaxing escape from the pressures of an urban environment. For these people, the food produced may be almost secondary. Growing fresh vegetables, herbs, or fruits provides a great sense of joy and accomplishment. A vegetable garden can also reduce the family’s food budget, and it can be a source of hard-to-find vegetables such as kohlrabi, Chinese cabbage, horseradish, salsify, and pak choi. One of the main reasons that people garden is that vegetables from the supermarket cannot compare in taste, quality, or freshness with vegetables grown in the home garden.

Container vegetable gardening
Short 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.
