Cool Gardening Ideas – Potted Gardens
Episode: #2 17/03/07
Presenter: Dean Boone
Modern homes leave less and less space for really big gardens and we also have less and less time to maintain them. Most of us do however have a deck, a balcony or a courtyard in which to enjoy easy outdoor living. The great thing is, these areas can also make perfect locations for small gardens, particularly potted ones, which is one of the easiest ways to have fun in a garden.
Some of the latest pots from Yates look great and the different sizes and finishes allow you to create some really funky combinations.
The Artesian range and Artesian Classics come in the latest metallic silver, bronze and copper finishes. They have a storage compartment at the base, to deliver an even water supply to your plants. This makes it really easy to look after anything you put in them, and it will not matter if you forget every now and again to give them a drink.
Garden trends are always evolving and the definite flavour of the moment is for lots of strappy foliage, soft grasses and succulents in a host of greens, silvers and deep rich plums tones. These pots seem to go with all the latest planting styles available now.
Edible gardens, which are also great in pots, are very popular. You can grow your own herbs, vegetables and even fruit trees to get the freshest produce in your kitchen. Just have fun with different planting combinations and see how you go.
To enjoy successful hassle free planting combinations, make sure you invest in a good quality potting mix. So it has all the key ingredients you will need, including a slow release fertiliser, and it has a tick of approval, like the Yates potting mix.
A potted garden is really simple and a lot of fun. This latest range of pots from Yates definitely helps make this even easier and by using good quality products, right from the start, you make your time in the garden an effortless one.
