I like to use containers for edibles, not just ornamentals. Containers make is easy for me to get plants started in soil that meets their needs. It\u2019s also a great way for me to incorporate fruit and veggies in areas where I don\u2019t have the space for a raised bed or garden. That\u2019s why I recommend container gardening for first-time growers and urban dwellers that may be short on outdoor space.<\/p>\n
If you come to visit us at Moss Mountain Farm, you\u2019ll notice that I have everything from kale to fruit trees planted in Crescent Garden<\/a> containers. Near the entrance to the vegetable garden, I have two large fig trees planted in Estate Square planters<\/a>. So don\u2019t let anyone tell you that you can\u2019t grow trees in planters!<\/p>\n
