Advantages of Container Culture of Vegetables

• Versatile: can be grow any where in small space areas

• More variety: You can grow plants that may not be suitable to grow in your garden soil and grow plants next to each other even though they may have different soil needs.

• Accessibility: Growing plants in containers makes gardening accessible to almost anyone including children, those with limited mobility and the elderly.

• No weeding: due to use of good growing media in container culture
• No heavy garden tools and equipment: Saves your back and money with less maintenance.

• Mobility: Plants in pots can easily be moved to suit your needs or to a more suitable sunny or shady location during the day.

• Change your look: Easily vary your colour scheme.  As each plant finishes flowering or fruiting, it can be replaced with another.

• Flexibility: Rearrange plants to suit the season or your personal taste.

• Control space invaders: Vigorous growers like mints and bamboo that are too invasive if let loose in the garden do well in containers, but will take over an in-ground garden.
• Less disease problems: Most of the time plants that are grown in containers havefewer problems with diseases than plants grown in the soil.
• Easy  control of pests:  we can isolate affected plants by relocating the pot until the problem is under control.
• Fertilising is easier:  Keeping your plants well-fed is much easier when they are confined to a small area.  Not as much nutrient tends to be lost or absorbed by neighbouring plants like when they are grown directly in garden beds.
• Time and labour saving: Less time is spent weeding, walking and watering when plants are grouped all in one place.
• Street Appeal: Well-designed container plants placed strategically at a home’s entrance can add value and make the home more welcoming.
• Indoor gardens:Improve indoor air quality, health and well-being with colour, fragrance, food and ornamental plants.
