Organic container gardening is an activity everyone, no matter their age can enjoy. Practically any veggie, herb, or fruit that can be grown in the ground can be grown in a container, and some plants produce better when contained.

A fantastic amount of food can be grown in containers filled with organic planting mix, watered consistently, and placed in a location with at least six hours of sun. City dwellers can grow a window box of herbs, salad greens in hanging baskets, strawberries in planter railings, peas on trellises in planter boxes, or a container garden of veggies on the roof.

Container gardening and agriculture are a growing trend in recent years. Farmers and scientists work together to identify productive systems that sustain the health of soils, ecosystems and people without using poisons. More and more, we are striving to be kinder to the planet and our bodies by not using toxic chemical fertilizers or herbicides in the soil or spraying pesticides on the food. As home gardeners with limited space, we want to grow our plants in a chemically-free manner, using natural predators to control pests, earthworms to aerate the soil, ladybugs to feed on aphids and compost to enrich the soil. Organic soil that is alive with microorganisms grows and produces so delicious and nutritious that everyone can appreciate the results! The benefits of organic food include, but are not limited to, the increase of essential vitamins and nutrients that the body uses in defense against cancer and other diseases, along with the revivification of immune systems damaged by the intake of harmful chemicals and artificial growth hormones. Organic gardeners and their families save money on food bills and doctor visits. Everyone knows the secret to good health is eating a rainbow of fresh organic veggies and fruits...
