A perfect solution for gardeners with limited space is to grow plants in container. But even if you have an abundant in-ground garden, you might appreciate the flexibility of growing organic plants in pots. You must need to know the following:

Type of container - Most nurseries offer a huge selection of terracotta, ceramic and plastic pots, but container gardening also offers the perfect opportunity to recycle something from the garage or basement. Watering cans, spatterware bowls, buckets, kitchen canisters, vintage cowboy boots, tires and even an old footed bathtub can all be used as planters.

Growing medium - You can buy special organic container mix at many garden centers, or you can make your own by amending dirt from your garden for container gardening; simply mix together one part garden soil, one part compost and one part sand.

What to plant - You can also successfully grow many vegetables in containers; just remember that most will grow best with about six hours of sunlight a day so you’ll need to place them in a fairly sunny location. hope this tips help you to create organic terrace garden.

Hope this helps.
