As we have already mentioned in other previous posts, the growing vegetables and fruits In our own home it is something that not only brings us economic benefits, and we can save a lot of money by harvesting our own food, but it is also a very satisfactory activity for ourselves and for our family.
One of the alternatives that we have in addition to growing in the ground is to use pots and other types of containers for growing fruits and vegetables. Although it's a bit more complicated, it's worth our effort and patience, as it can achieve the same results as growing them in the garden. If you're interested in learning more about this type of growing, we recommend reading our article on potted gardens.
It is for this reason that today we will talk about some recommendations for growing fruit and vegetables in pots:
- If we do not have enough space, or if we only have a balcony or a very small patio, we can resort to growing vegetables and fruits in pots.
- It's important to keep in mind that fruits and vegetables may or may not be resistant to cold, so we should stay alert and informed about those that aren't, so we can bring them indoors in case of frost or low temperatures.
- You can use large pots, barrels cut in half, or any other type of container, as long as you make sure they have holes so water can drain through.
- You can take advantage of any place to put pots or planters, such as stairs, walls, walls, etc.
- Remember that grow bags filled with a special layer for this type of planting are available on the market. For example, some vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers can grow easily in these bags and don't require constant watering as pots do.
Growing fruits and vegetables in pots is a very practical option for those who live in areas with limited space. By choosing the right plants, such as those that tolerate container growing well, you can achieve excellent results. It's a good idea to educate yourself about types of care for an urban garden which can also apply in the case of flower pots.
In addition, it is essential to select the correct substrate that offers good drainage and nutrients, allowing the roots to grow healthy and strong. If you are interested in more information on how to prepare the substrate, you can read the article on prepare the land for a garden.
