>>2646722I cant speak to container gardening per se only container plants in general (trees shrubs, perennials, etc). It is sort of tough but if you have small space or don't have a permanent living situation you have to make it work.
You have to be much more on top of watering. You have to really be on top of fertilizing too even if the soil is supposed to already have a fertilizer. And if you do anything besides annuals you have to up-pot things and root prune them every so often.
What I recommend with containers is set up drip irrigation or misters in or above each pot- and put them on a timer. It will make your life alot easier.
I sometimes keep plants (tree seedlings mostly) in containers a year or two before planting. So I have sort of a stable of idk maybe two dozen seedlings set up on the east side of my house waiting to transplant with a wood frame above them and about eight atomizers running along the frame. That's how I water them and it saves me alot of time and makes it alot easier.
I don't bother root pruning because ideally they get transplanted before it is necessary but if you are doing containers long term then you have to get used to root pruning. For veggies I assume you want full sun. For young seedlings you want full AM sun and shade in the afternoon. With veggies you may find you have to spray a pesticide or fungicide too.
