Container gardening can be a great option for those with limited space or mobility. Choose containers with drainage holes and a size appropriate for the plants you want to grow. Use a high-quality potting mix designed for containers, as regular garden soil can become compacted. Consider self-watering or [sub-irrigated planters](https://extension.psu.edu/self-watering-containers-for-growing-vegetables) for consistent moisture. Place containers in a sunny location and fertilize regularly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Be mindful of water needs, as containers dry out faster than in-ground gardens. Rotate crops and refresh the potting mix annually for best results.
