Let us build a work area for containers Every container should have drainage holes in the bottom for obvious reasons. If you choose, you can put packing pellets in the bottom ,this is where the smart valve comes into action.

No matter what you choose for your containers -- the hot, sun-baked colors of Provence, the sweet-scented cottage-garden blooms, or even the severe elegance of an Oriental garden-any of it can be yours no matter how small your space. Containers can be placed on the ground, hung from trees or buildings, or arranged on steps and fences for just the look you want.

There are several important things to remember when using containers: *First, consider the container itself. While a front door might call for a hanging basket to provide color and fragrance at eye level, a patio offers space for a variety of containers. If you're starting with a plant rather than a location, choose your pot accordingly: a small pot for a geranium; larger for a hydrangea. A taller pot works better for trailing plants, while a shallow dish will suit smaller, shallow-rooted alpines.

*If you're choosing plants for location, remember to use the right plant for sun or shade. Most nurseries and garden centers today all tag plants as to optimum growing conditions, and you should pay close attention to them. If your containers are to be in sun most of the day, be sure you have a source of water nearby as they will require frequent drinks.

*Window boxes can serve you year round, and you will have many choices of how you want them to look. While some homeowners prefer a window garden with a lot of color, others might opt for a single color scheme. Whether one color or many, window gardens will improve the outside of any building and alter your view of the world from the inside. You can keep your window box looking good most of the year by using conifers and other hardy plants in the fall and winter. *Trees or shrubs can be clipped into interesting shapes called topiaries and will make attractive formal features when placed in containers in the patio or garden. Evergreen shrubs with small leaves, such as boxwood, juniper and yew are excellent choices, but holly and rosemary will work well, too.
