I completely forgot the BEST part of container gardening! You will have practically NO weeds! If, by some chance, you do get a little sprig of grass or something popping up in your containers, it’s a piece of cake to carefully get it out-and you can get the roots, so it won’t come back!

Win-win! Yeah, containers!

Thanks for the article. Although your situation is much different than mine (I just moved into an urban loft), your post is helpful for me. Container gardening is the best I can do!

Regarding large containers and pots, here’s a tip I’m going to try this year for my large front-porch planter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea_IUaivwcw&feature=player_embedded

Why I didn’t think of this years ago, I’ll never know.

Our new house in Kansas City has a teeny tiny yard (compared to the giant one we’ve had in Wichita. I can tell that container gardening is about to be my best friend.

Thanks for the awesome tips, Stephanie!

Mint. Cannot. Be. Planted. In. A. Yard.
We tried this (with three varieties of mint) in my tween-age years. I used to have to go out and mow the “grass” every weekend, and I swear.. you need goggles.
I smelled like giant toothpaste monster through much of middle school.
Yay container gardening!!
