Growing plants in
containers is not, in my case, because we don't have enough room but
simply because hard packed clay soil is such a hassle. There are all sorts
of sites advising how to mix the soil for these pots. We simply used
compost for starting trees mixed half and half with peat moss along with
some potting soil. Using the peat moss makes the pot lighter and easier to
move with the thought of wintering these begonias over. They bloom
beautifully all winter on the glassed in back porch. Fish fertilizer
works fine too.
Let me say it has been such
a joy not having to fight with weeding, unsuccessfully balancing the soil
in beds, and watering chores, maybe this is the way we will go from now
on.
