Garden : Guide to container gardening

Most salad greens, nearly all herbs, and many flowers and vegetables thrive in containers provided they’re filled with enriched soil and large enough to accommodate stretching roots.

1. Start the seed in flats or small plastic pots. Used pots need a scrub and dip in a 10-percent-bleach solution.

2. Dampen your mix thoroughly before sowing seed. Drainage is of utmost importance in container gardening, so use a growing medium that drains well. Prepare containers by filling them with a seed-starting mix, or make your own by combining equal parts sphagnum peat with perlite or vermiculite.

3. Place two or three seeds in each pot or make rows in a flat. Seeds planted in rows, rather than scattered, have fewer problems after germination because of improved air circulation.

4. Cover the seeds lightly with a thin layer of dampened potting mix, and cover germinating flats with a plastic dome or plastic wrap to preserve moisture. Most seeds germinate in a warm dark place, so a heat mat is very useful but not absolutely necessary for germinating seed.
