Potted Vegetable Garden


Welcome to the Potted Vegetable Garden!


Container vegetable gardening is really starting to come into its own, as more people in with small space gardens coming on board wanting to grow their very own fruits, vegetable and herbs.


"If you are one of those people? Then good on you for making the first step towards creating a successful container garden that produces an abundance of healthy nutritious food."


You have come to the right place!


Creating a productive container food garden need not be back breaking work. When done correctly is simple, productive and darn right fun.


My four year old daughter loves it. (View photo below)


Yes, it can be for all the family who want to get involved and what better way to start than a Potted Vegetable Garden


The fantastic news is that most fruits, veggies and herbs can be grown in pots and containers; some can even be grown indoors or on a windowsill.


You can even grow varieties of fruit trees such as (miniature citrus trees)


In fact for vigorous growers such as Mints it’s practically a necessity to grow them in pots or containers.


Popular Veggies to Grow In Containers


Popular Herbs


Of course there are many more, but the list would go on forever.


You could also consider other plants in your potted vegetable garden such as Cucumber and Pumpkins but you would need to support them on a trellis or something similar.


As a rule of thumb, use plants that tolerate transplanting, especially those that you will be buying from nurseries or your local market. If the plants you want to grow do not transplant well, then direct seeding is your preferred method.


The type of soil for a potting mix is not soil at all.  Soil is too dense for containers and does not provide the correct drainage or aeration.


Growing mediums are generally organic mediums that can hold roots, retain moisture nutrients and drain well.  In general the mix contains no nutritional value in itself, but is added.


Top rated growing mediums contain a mixture of sawdust, wood chips, peat-moss and vermiculite. 


I would stay away from peat-moss as this is a non renewable recourse

Worms farms are great way to produce your own fertilizers for your Potted Vegetable Garden

You can make your very own organic potting mix using the materials as above, or if finding this material hard to come by, you can use a mixture of Vermiculite and well rotted compost.


Top it up with one third sand for drainage and one third composted bark and mix in well.


If you are making your own potting mix for your Potted Vegetable Garden then you may want to add water crystals for water storage.  Avoid the crystals with added nutrients as these are generally not organic.

This E-book has been created to help you step by step with great content and associated video

FOOD 4 WEALTH

The Potted Vegetable Garden when it first started!

Anything that doesn’t rot and can have a few holes poked in the bottom will do fine for a container.  One great thing about a Potted Vegetable Garden is that you can get very creative with your choice of containers.


One of my favorites many years ago was old boot with Strawberries spilling out of it.  Eventually it just rotted away, but it served its purpose for many years and looked great.


I also use milk containers, ice cream containers, plastic bottles, plastic and metal buckets and even old wash tubs.  The variety definitely has added a lot of character over the times.


Terracotta Tubs or Plastic for a Potted Garden


Terracotta is best used for plants that require excellent drainage and prefer dry conditions.  Plastic, metal and other non perishable are great for plants that need to keep moist and hate drying out.


Always keep the bottoms of your pots raised so they can receive good airflow to the roots.  Remove water that becomes stagnant as this will not only attract mozzies, but also create disease and suffocate the roots.  Most self watering containers are okay; just remove old water if it sits too long.

Nov 6, Building a Vegetable Garden Natural Gardening Preparing a Vegetable Garden

Preparing a vegetable garden of this sort is extremely attractive for those sites that have poor soil or invasive weeds.


It's also a great way to build a garden for those that can't, or don't want to, dig a good size vegetable garden!


Follow the natural gardening no dig diagram below, but first thing of course, is to choose the site for building a garden. Make sure the site is level and ideally most of the area gets at least 5 hours of sun a day.


If it's not reasonably level, roughly smooth out the humps and bumps, then fill the gaps and any lower edges with soil, sand or whatever organic material is at hand, such as bark, leaves, twigs, washed seaweed, paper, jute, wool carpet or similar. As this rots down, you will need to add more compost to these low areas and gradually build them up.


If the ground is on too much of a slope, build some terraces for an easy vegetable garden to maintain. You can make a grand affair with formal retaining walls, or just shore levels up with branches, bricks, rocks, planks, corrugated iron or other obtainable materials.


When preparing soil for a vegetable garden and it is over lawn or weeds, you can mow the area to ground level and build the garden on top, or you can leave the vegetation to decay underneath in time ? as long as you cut out light to kill off the grass and weeds underneath.


If you are building a vegetable garden on a hard surface, such as dry clay, an old stony yard or driveway, put down some cushioning organic material first (as above, bark, leaves etc).


Here's a guide following natural gardening basics. It is only a guide remember, and your circumstances may be such that making a vegetable garden exactly the same would be difficult. You want an easy to build vegetable garden, in fact any garden, so don't go blowing a gasket trying to find this and that, or putting this on top of that.


It's worth reading about Lasagna Gardening to show you how to throw out the manual for building a vegetable garden.


But back to the main guidelines: Begin with a newspaper layer of at least 5 pages ? or 20 or so pages if you like (or packing, wrapping paper, cardboard, sacking, natural carpet etc) to at least 5mm (? inch) thick.


If you have those really tenacious, weedy dudes such as onion weed, couch or buffalo grass, docks, convolvulus, ivy and other nasties, definitely put down a strong first layer such as well overlapping cardboard or at least 20 plus layers of newspaper.


It helps to surround the garden with some sort of border material. This can be bricks, logs, planks or rocks and can be 20-25cm high (8-10 inches) or more. See these suggestions here: Ways to contain raised garden beds.


A raised border contains the organic material within, discourages invasion of surrounding lawn or weeds, deters various people and critters, and means less back-bending.


Lay down a layer of pads of lucerne hay (alfalfa) leaving no gaps, to a height of 10cm (4 inches). Layer some good organic fertilizer on top to a height of roughly 20mm (1 inch). This can be just about any sort of good quality material like well rotted chicken, horse, cow or sheep manure. If you don't have this sort of material available, sprinkle a layer of good natural commercial fertilizer. No need to go the full 1" depth with commercial material.


Add a thick layer of loose straw to the garden 20cm (8 inches) and another layer of fertilizer and then top it off with 10cm (4 inches) of compost.


Water the garden until it's wet but not soaking. You can now start planting your seedlings immediately for an instant garden!


Here's a diagram of the process when starting a vegetable garden the no dig way.


It will NOT look neat like this! You also do NOT have to have these exact layers, materials and quantities. Nature does not use a tape measure ? use whatever you have at hand or can easily buy.


Building a vegetable garden like this (seriously messier than these pictures) can be achieved in a couple of hours if you have the materials on hand. Build several garden beds in different shapes to add interest and variety to your gardening.


No dig gardens are just the same as other gardens... just easier to build and maintain. Here are some step-by-step photos of building a no dig garden using a slightly different approach.


No dig gardens are more successful if you plant seedlings rather than seeds. The seeds can get lost in the mix and you are less certain about where everything will come up. With seedlings, you have a better idea of where things are. Also, with the rich organic materials in this sort of garden you can plant more intensively than you would with a normal garden.


What will do well? Beans, peas, capsicum, eggplant, tomato, lettuce, sweet corn, broccoli, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and vine crops like melons and pumpkins. Root crops should not be tried until the bed is more mature.


Once your seedlings are in place, cover exposed areas with another layer of mulch. This can be straw, grass clippings or leaves. Try to keep the stems of your young plants clear of the mulch to discourage stem rot.


Of course you can start off with seeds, particularly biggies like beans and similar, but especially with preparing soil for a vegetable garden in the first year, the layers are bulky and not merged, so best to wait a good few months.


To sow seeds after building your vegetable garden, push away the mulch, make a shallow trench and add a layer of good soil, sprinkle seeds, then cover with fine soil. Keep the mulch away from seeds and only bring it closer once the seedlings are strong little plants.
