Home grown vegetables are the best way someone can save cash and feel in control of what goes on the dinner table.
Container gardening with vegetables makes the growing process easier.
Vegetables grown in containers can provide an easily managed environment, resulting in fewer pest problems and higher yields.
Making your own planter that can be specific to your garden needs is not as hard as it seems, particularly when looking into containers that will hold vegetables. The biggest concern with vegetables in containers is root space. But many can thrive with only a few feet of space and herbs can do so with less.
When building a planter box, height should be sufficient to make it easy on the gardener and put the vegetables within reach without kneeling. Additionally, the weight capacity should be considered since it will be holding soil and water too. Strong boards are necessary for the finished product.
