Providing good drainage is one of the most important rules for a gardener. It doesn't matter if you're growing directly in the ground, or in containers. Most plants will be unhappy in saturated, wet soils, and will not thrive if their roots are waterlogged. Roots need oxygen too. Planting in raised beds can provide the drainage plants need. Or a couple of inches of small rock in the bottom of a container will work also. Give plants some space in between one another...crowding plants reduces air circulation, which means that foliage stays wet longer, and allows different kinds if molds and fungus to appear. Proper spacing of plants can mean the difference between a major disease problem and a minor one. |
