Urban Garden Setup

When setting up your container garden you want to keep these two things in mind. 1) is there sufficient sunlight, 2)where is my water source.

Your container garden will require about 5 hours of sunlight and protected from strong winds. A spot that isn't protected from wind exposure can cause your garden to dry out more quickly. Compost should be worked into your soil for healthier plants (Compost Tea works well here, it is Compost in Liquid form) and covering the tops with a mulch will help with moisture retention. Set the larger pots in the back with successively smaller toward the front and place trays or lids under the containers to collect excess water. Be sure to check your containers daily for moisture and water appropriately.
