Hello. I'm going start gardening again after health problems forced me to stop, I'm going do some contatiner gardening for the first time. If anyone has any tips. i would appreciate it.

Tommy Tomatoes Make sure your containers have adequate drainage. Too much water in the base can rot your plants roots!

Jessica What are you planning to plant?

Kathy Ritscher 4 years ago I was where you are today. Starting over and dealing with mobility issues. I grow most of my garden in containers and raised beds. Some Containers are on chairs for easier reaching. Others are on the ground but I use a chair to work those. I also have a garden chair on wheels that helps a lot. I can roll next to the raised bed or container without getting up and down. I grow most anything in the containers. I also tend to grow multiple plants in them. I will have a tomato growing up on some trellis or frame. Under it will be basil, marigolds and anything else I decide to put in. Think high, medium and low when planting. Layers are easier to water and maintain.
