Pot Soil Gardening Tips
Due to the lack of space, many people are opting for pot gardening. Earlier, pot gardens were mainly seen in balconies as a decor theme. Flowering and hanging plants were used to decorate the balcony an make it look colourful. Nowadays, pot gardening has become a trend due to its low maintenance and less space requirements.
In pot gardens, you basically add soil, plant the sapling and then top it with soil. However, you need to fill garden pot with proper soil so as to make the plant grow and blossom easily. Here are some tips to fill garden soil in pots.
Pot Filling Gardening Tips:
Don't Use Garden Soil: Even if your garden soil is the best soil, do not use it in your pots. The garden soil is too heavy and dirty with eggs, bacteria, bugs etc which can kill the pot plant. Instead using potting soil which is lightweight, well aerated, sterile, and contains mineral particles like peat, sand. Potting soil doesn't contain dirt. So, prefer that over garden soil.
Need Not Fill The Pot Completely: If you are using large container pots, you would be amazed to see the big amount of potting soil that will be required. So, it is not necessary to fill the whole container with soil. Most of the plants especially vegetable plants spread roots from 10-12 inches. So, arrange soil levels accordingly.
Drainage: make sure that the pot has proper drainage system. Insert a wick inside the pot or make a small hole so as to allow excess water to drain away from the soil. Too much water can kill the root and the plant will die gradually.
Don't repeat The Same Soil: Soil depletes and if you think that using the same soil for growing a new plant is a great idea, then perish the thought! Moreover, soil is more prone to attracting bacteria, diseases, weeds, fungal spores etc. you can throw the old potting soil in the garden and use a fresh one for a new sapling.
Flush The Soil: The soil can be coated with salt, dirt and fertilizers. So, once in a month, flush the pot in the sink under smooth flowing water. This clears the top layer of the soil and also washes out accumulated salt, fertilizers and dirt. This helps get healthy and blossoming plants.
