Container Gardens

Using container gardens

By Daniel Law







The use of containers in the garden literally had spread over the past several years, and it is not surprising. Containers offer a great way to provide seasonal color and interest in the garden, which serves many practical purposes as well. Every year, more designs, colors and materials and uses comes on the scene. New container polymer have a look terra cotta, concrete, stone and even the bronze medal in the faction of the weight and cost, and frequency of these forms of antiquity. Stone mounted containers can become a piece of inheritance, passed down through generations.







Containers are an excellent way to put any plant on the base of the statue. Of geranium red displays a simple plant and plentiful, and can be a star of stage, each station. The containers can be used to display more than just a yearbook, given that many of the landscape trees and shrubs, and durable goods are produced and transported and sold in containers, it is not surprising that it can be grown in planting your favorites. I have used pine, Japanese maple, wisteria in a large container of just the tip of the iceberg. More plantings such as these can be used much like a shrub or tree in the ground.







It might loosen the wall or fill a corner or to provide shade and plants under the canopy. It can also direct your eye to the container from a single point in the garden to another. Through the development of farms near the street curb and one near the front door, and your guests along clearly went to the house.







Of course, the Yearbook is natural in pots and planters. With care, they can provide a color long term. Yearbook few in the pot can go a long way. And one large planter filled with a bouquet of Yearbook able to compete on an equal footing with dozens of flowers in the beds.







The additional advantage of this thinking is that it is very easy to change the Yearbook or live before a party. You can drag the tired plants and replace them with fresher a few plants and you breathe new life into your garden. Or replace the entire plant with a new one. We buy large, hanging basket Yearbook is complete, remove the basket and set the plant in the pot and appears to have been on all summer.







Personally, I do this early in the year so you do not have to wait for the operation of mini-plants for the cultivation of perennial plants and the filling of the herbs and ornamental plants such as red Pennisteum can make an exciting display.







Provides herbs peak traffic, but also in terms of influence in the breeze. You can duplicate the feel of a garden is larger than through a combination of one or two of each station you enjoyed in particular. I have installed farmers using Miscanthus, black-eyed Susan, Autumn Joy Sedum and Coreopsis on the balcony, and simulation of a much larger park in the presentation, which contain a combination of one.







This is a great way to make the garden at hand for you and your guests. Another creative use of containers is a water park. Containers of water and submersible pumps, and the source, can be enjoyed any garden sight and sound to transport water.







I once used the old hand pump and a half whiskey barrel with submersible pumps to circulate water as a focal point for a small garden of the country. Distilled water from the tap in a barrel and recirculated again through hand pumps. So, do not hesitate to experiment with the authors. Cluster pots of various sizes and styles together. Mix shrubs, trees, annuals and even vines together for an exciting mix of colors, textures, shapes and sizes. If it does not work out, empty it and try something else!
