However, you will be limited on the kind of vegetables you can grow. There only some veggies that you can grow with container gardening. Besides, your space must catch the right amount of sunlight.

Container gardening is extremely efficient because you don’t waste anything. Your biodegradable trash can directly be placed on those containers and add the soil then your seeds or seedlings. 

The good thing about container gardening is you can chase the sunlight. You can transfer the container gardens to spaces where sunlight is an advantage. If in case your place will experience some flooding, you can quickly bring the containers in higher ground.

You do not need to buy containers. There are items at home that you thought are trash but useful for food growing:

• Steel pasta strainers 
• vintage boxes 
• Plastic Totes 
• Plastic bottles

Therefore, container gardening is highly environment-friendly. It reduces garbage is thrown anywhere that stresses our rivers, streams, and the ocean.

The food you can grow in vertical gardens:

• Cherry tomatoes
• Winter squash and melon
• Peas and pole beans
• Potatoes
• Strawberries
• Cucumber 

• Raising the Garden bed-box and square-foot gardening

If your home space can be enough to place boxes in bedforms. You put these beds in the upper ground, and you save much space. Hence, square foot gardening will reduce the growth of weeds. You can easily uproot the weeds. 

The advantage of growing food using square-foot gardening:
