Afraid of food poisoning? Rest assured that you no longer have to live in fear of E. Coli or salmonella. How can you do this? Use container gardening! You don’t have to be a hobbyist or a hardcore gardener to appreciate the simplicity and helpfulness of a container garden.

Several people say that they’re against container gardening because they claim it costs too much, or consumes up too much time. Neither is true, and we’ll tell you how to make one and the actually prices associated with the creation of a container garden.

1. Buy your needed supplies, which are: - Three plastic pots around half a foot wide and half a foot long. - Basil seeds (1 packaging) - A small amount of organic compost - Peat moss (found in stores) - Gardening spade - Watering tool of some sort - Location where energy can be received through sunlight

2. Prep the soil by mixing a bit of compost with moss (5 parts compost and one part peat moss. For every trowel of moss, essentially place five trowels of compost). Measure three pots until they are around .5 of an inch from the top w/h the mixture.

3. Place the basil seeds in the dirt, making holes 2.54 cm (1 inch) down in the centre of the individual pots using your fingers. Around three seeds should be placed in each hole, and buried with soil. Hydrate in small quantities with water, and place them under sunlight. The seed should sprout soon and once they are around two inches in height, promptly remove any other sprouts. This will permit you to have only one plant per pot.

4 Maintain them regularly, watering whenever they feel or look dry. In order to maximize growth, feel free to pull of the tips of each plant’s stem once in a while and take out any plant twigs you see.

Then smile and feel proud about starting your first basil container garden! When it comes to gardening, you can put almost any plant-related organism in a container garden and it’ll grow. Just adjust the plant’s environment and soil to fit it best.
