Growing vegetables in containers

Growing vegetables in containers has many benefits. Containers provide a controlled environment so bugs, root rot, poor soil and disease are less likely to affect the plants. In addition, container gardens allow people with a small living space to grow vegetables for their home. Containers can be arranged on a patio, balcony or even on shelves in the home. Many plants thrive in a container garden and will provide nutritious and delicious food for the gardener.
