Picking the right site for your outdoor container garden is vital. If you pick the wrong location, it could lead to be disastrous for your outdoor plants. Finding a perfect spot for your potted plants can be based on many factors, sunlight, protection, and location.
When choosing a location for your outside container garden, keep in mind the amount of sunlight your plants will need. Some plants require shade, and some require full sun. You may have to split up your garden, placing it in a few different areas of the yard.
This can be a relatively easy process for a outdoor container garden plan. If you just have a couple plants that need shade, you can set up some sort of shade system. Using a tarp or other shade system, you can build a frame over your plants that blocks sun for most of the day, depending on how much shade the plants need. This way, you can locate your shade-loving plants with your sun-loving plants.
It’s not advised to locate your outdoor container garden near a public street. The pollution emitted from passing vehicles could possibly damage your plants. To avoid this, try to keep your potted garden as near to your place of establishment as possible. Also having your container garden close to your home will make it easier for you to move plants inside when unexpected weather arises.
Tip:
If you have had a container garden in the same location in the past couple years, and it was heavily infested with garden pests, you might consider moving your garden to another part of the yard. Sometimes pests will come back the following year to a previous location in search of the same food they had the year before. If you move your outside container garden, you have a small chance of keeping these bugs from locating your garden this year.
