Planting Up
Container Planting
Most gardens have plants in containers - from a few on a balcony outside an upper storey flat to many on the patio of a large garden. Colourful containers can enhance paved areas and bring a display of choice plants closer to the eye. So how do you go about planting a container?
Time to complete job: Less than 1 hour
Approximate budget: £20
You will need:
- Container
- Broken plant pot pieces
- Compost
- Plants
Permanent plantings can be done at almost any time of the year - but better in the spring when plants will become quickly established.

Isn't PVA water-based? You'd just end up with gluey compost every time you watered. - Something to say? Add a comment...
