With more and more people wanting to grow their own food to reduce their food costs and eat cleaner, the need for container gardening has increased exponentially. With that increase comes a flurry of confusion around how you actually grow fruit and vegetables in containers. More specifically, a big aspect of container gardening is the soil health within the pot you are using. Being able to build healthy soil in containers, like you do in the ground or in raised beds, is equally as important to the healthy growth of your plants and nutrient density you get from your harvests. Join my in this video where I show you how I build incredibly healthy soil in containers using only leaves and compost.
