How Do You Grow Vegetables In A Container?
Containers come in all different sizes and lucky for you, so do vegetables. You will need to make sure the container is at least 12 inches deep for plants that have deep roots, such as: Tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower Beans and cucumbers will only need soil that is about 10 inches and lettuce needs only about 6 to 7 inches of soil to grow. You also have to take into consideration how far plants need to be planted apart from each other if you are going to plant more than one plant in each container. The first thing you want to do is clean your container. Depending on what kind of container you are you using, you could just clean it with a little soap and water. If the container is really dirty you will want to clean it with soap, water and about a teaspoon of bleach. Make sure you rinse it well. The next step is to give your container some drainage holes. This will keep your plants from getting root rot because the water has no place to drain and the roots end up sitting in the water
