Many people use garden containers, planters and flower pots as a portable garden or for easy rearrangement during the seasons. Apart from choosing the right container for the effect that you want however, and making the right choice of plants, it is also necessary for you to be aware of how to prepare a container or planter for the actual planting.

Natural stone and terracotta containers should be well soaked before use. You should then make sure that you have sufficient drainage since many plants do not like being waterlogged. You can use small stones, pieces of ceramic such as broken crockery or smashed ceramic flower pots at the bottom. It is often a good idea to place a layer of coarse porous material over the ceramic pieces to maintain the drainage, since otherwise it could easily be packed with soil or compost. Buckram is ideal, or any other coarse fabric.

Some gardeners prefer to start of with large stones and add increasingly smaller sized stones on top. It is important that the spaces between the draining materials are kept free to prevent the roots being permanently under water.You should then add soil, the thickness depending on the plant. Pack the soil around the roots to firmly embed the plant, though keep it loose enough to allow root growth. Design a Portable Garden with Garden Containers Flower Pots and Planters
