Last Year's Potting Soil
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Tue Apr 14, 2009 1:19 pm The best advice is to dump it in your garden or woods, only reuse if you are sure there are no disease problems left over from the previous season. You will need to fertilize more frequently the second year because many of the nutrients have been lost or used by the plants the previous season. Organic media will decrease as well, which may slow water drainage and root growth. Best advice, start with new soil each year if possible. This blog entry has been viewed 329 times

Advantages of Repotting Your Containers
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2009 1:48 pm The great benefit of gardening in planters and containers is that you can change your mind or become creative within moments with new plants. Repotting your garden planters allows the plants more room to grow, and of course bloom more profusely as more nutrients become available. Freshen up your arrangements by removing dead leaves, flowers or roots and give a good pruning too. Last edited: Wed Apr 08, 2009 1:48 pm This blog entry has been viewed 232 times

Great Garden Planter Arrangements
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Thu Apr 02, 2009 2:32 pm One of the keys to having a great planter arrangement anywhere on your deck, patio or garden is to have one of your containers dominate the cluster. Place the tallest element at the back of your composition with the smaller pots on either side. Of course, you will want to plant the larger container with something striking, like a grass or tall foliage. [/url] This blog entry has been viewed 1411 times

When to Repot Your Container Plants
Category: Container Gardening | Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:32 pm You will definitely see signs when your plants in your pots and containers need to be repotted. The leaves on your plants may turn yellow; have brown tips or just start to fall off. The soil in the planter becomes very solid and hard to penetrate. When the roots begin to come through the bottom of your garden planters, you will need to think about dividing and/or using a large container. This blog entry has been viewed 262 times
