Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple solid decorative pot does not allow water to drain. Use potting soil rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave a rim at the top to facilitate watering and maintain space between the plants. Regularly check the moisture with your finger, as the surface can dry out while the bottom remains damp. Water slowly until water comes out through the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot weather, check the pots more often. Fertilize according to the needs of the crop and the instructions for the chosen product. Roots have a limited volume, so container gardening requires different monitoring than growing in open ground. Position any supports as soon as you plant. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stems. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before reuse.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.
