Choosing a Container Size Drainage Never held toxic products Avoid cheap plastic pots Terra cotta pots dry out quickly Choose rot-resistant woods (no creosote- treated wood)

Choosing a Container Large containers hold temperature and water better than small containers –1-2 gallon: lettuce, spinach, chard, radish –3-5 gallon: carrots, beets, broccoli, dwarf tomatoes –5-10 gallon: tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, squash –6-10” diameter pots: herbs, green onion, radish

Drainage Use mesh screen, newspaper, coffee filters, etc. to prevent soil loss

Preparing Your Container Sterilize old pots before re-using Season new clay pots

Preparing Your Container Sand for large containers Styrofoam packing peanuts to reduce weight
