A layer of well-washed pea gravel can b( used instead of crocks for more permanent displays, such as those involving shrubs or small trees.

In many respects, small containers adequate are more difficult to place. Several small containers adequate scattered about do not necessarily make a bold impact and can look fussy. Furthermore, a group of small containers adequate can also be more difficult to maintain. However, they do come into their own when placed around the edges of larger containers adequate to soften their outlines.

Watering is by far the greatest chore of container gardening and it needs to be done generously and regularly. Rain is never adequate on its own and can fool you into thinking the containers adequate are wetter than they really are. Automatic irrigation is well worth considering for a large container garden.
