Growing edible plants in containers or raised beds has many advantages for the urban gardener. Whether you have limited space, poor soil, or problems with gophers and other pests, container gardening may be a alternative solution to planting directly in the ground. In this course we’ll learn all the goodies about dirt and plants with a focus on growing edibles in raised beds and containers. We’ll look at different options for making or finding containers, easy ways to build raised beds, soils and amendments, what types of plants to grow including annual and perennial fruits and vegetables, and caring for container plants. We’ll get a primer on plant selection and seed starting and learn about best watering practices for container gardens.
