Filling The Container With Compost: • Beds and borders against walk are particularly prone to drying out and need zr watering.
• Plants in tubs, pots, and particularly hanging baskets will need regular applications of water through the summer because they can dry out very quickly. When filling the container with compost, leave a gap between the surface of the soil and the rim of the container to allow a sufficient amount of water to be applied. Water when the top lin of the container compost dries out; aim to keep it always damp but not sodden.

On The Other Hand See Chore Of Container Gardening:Watering is by far the greatest chore of container gardening and it needs to be done generously and regularly. Rain is never adequate on its own and can fool you into thinking the containers are wetter than they really are. Automatic irrigation is well worth considering for a large container garden.
The greatest advantage of container gardening is that the containers can be moved around the garden at will to create a series of different effects. Furthermore, you can replace the plants in them when they have passed their best, or even if you decide that you want a change of color scheme, thus you are assured of a continuous display of flowers to suit.
