Green Gardening Tips - Top 10 Summer Fruit & Vegetables For Container Gardening

Green gardening is a very rewarding activity. Those lucky enough to have a large garden can really develop their green gardening skills with big compost heaps, crop rotation, water butts & 'grey water' irrigation systems. Fortunately, green gardening is also possible for those with small gardens or even no garden. The answer is to grow green using containers.

The good news is that there are many types of fruit and vegetables which can be grown successfully in containers. These range from salad leaves to miniature fruit trees. Using containers you can even 'choose' your soil type by buying compost that is suitable for the plants you wish to grow, rather than putting up with your garden's natural range. o water your containers every day (& possibly twice a day in hot weather) 
o use a natural, organic plant food to help your plants keep producing all season

This is vital for producing strong, disease resistant plants.

This allows water to be directed deeper into the compost & nearer to the roots of the plants. Don't forget, even if you don't have room for a water butt, you can still use 'grey' water from your washing up bowl or bath to water your plants.
