    Thank you. We live in the desert of western Colorado.....hot and dry. 62 years ago, my mother in law gave me a cutting of her favorite mint plant....we lived in New England at the time. I had it there and then moved it when we moved west. It is flourishing in a large container where it only gets about 2-3 hours or sun per day. It is wonderful for mint tea and makes a wonderful mint jelly....

    I started my garden in containers and grow bags. I live in zone 9b SW Florida, but in 2023, I decided to grow my vegetable garden in raised beds. It's been a game changer for me. It's been a lot less work, less time watering, less time amending the soil. I can do more companion planting. I had little to no bugs last year. Overall, I thought I liked container gardening, but I love raised bed square foot companion gardening better.

      If you can do raised beds then that is an easier option, glad it's worked well for you!

    I love containers! I live in a very dry desert also. From Utah just above you. I love to layer my containers like a mini hugelkulture pot. And then plant in the top compost layer. Then mulch the top with wood chips. Containers in the desert sure do dry out fast. But having them layered with organic materials keep a lot more moisture. I love learning from you. Great information and beautiful videos and pictures as always! Great job!

    Even these container are too deep. What I do is to measure the adult plant root or google it and that is the depth I need. Less water, less soil, less space, less weight,, less "products for mend to soil. For instance herbs like oregano, thyme, etc. or even tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, collar greens, most of the "produce" we buy at the supermarket we can plant them in a very cheap way. Ay container can be used for something... they don't need a lot of soil because roots are no deep
