My back garden only gets 2-3 hours sunlight in the morning, it is all paved and I’d like to have a “container garden” to add some colour, any suggestions? And what mixes well with what?
I live in England so no tropicals please!

I live in an apt right now, but we are searching for a house. We love to use fresh herbs and given our lack of yard, and need for portability when we move into a house, we are looking to make a “container” garden. Something with herbs, vegies, even fruits. (I know they make mini banana, and citrus trees for container gardens) BUT I am a self proclaimed black thumb, and need MAJOR help with what to purchase and how-to. Any useful links, would be helpful too. Thanks so much my dears!

I am kinda getting addicted to my container garden, (its so much fun!) I want to plant one more veggie, I already have a beefsteak tomato plant, a jalapeno pepper plant, 2 different types of mint, AND a “strawberry pot” (one of those urn type pots with cups cut out of the sides of it) full of strawberrys. I want to plant another veggie but am not sure what else will work in a container. Thanx in advance for any ‘ideers’ you give me! :D

This will be my first vegetable container garden, I just recently moved and my ground gardening space is very limited. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. I have plenty of space for containers on my cement driveway and I have a big garage with nice size windows. I have so many questions. My favorite vegetables are maters, cukes, peppers, corn, carrots, pumpkins, watermelon, herbs, garlic and head lettuce.

I make my own compost, can I use it for my containers?

Is there an easy way to keep my pots from drying out?

My containers are ugly! Most are just ordinary pots that purchased plants come in. Any tips on how to make them look attractive inexpensively?

When should I bring my containers in the garage? I live near Detroit, Mi.
Thanks!

Dunk asked:


Then fill the bag with garden waste and make a valve from the container up to surface of my garden so that the green waste decomposes/degrades producing methane which can be released by the valve and burned. Would this work? Sorry for the long question, im probably being stupid!
