Third, will the container create problems? Porous containers can leak moisture that can discolor or damage deck furniture. Balcony containers and second-story window boxes can alienate the neighbors at watering time. If the containers are too heavy, there might be some structural damage to the building. . Pots sitting directly on the surface of a patio may not drain properly, or, at the least, may provide a haven for earwigs, pill bugs, or slugs.
All of these issues can be corrected by careful selection and placement of containers.
I strongly favor the recycling of discarded objects to be used for container gardening. These work best if you live and landscape in an informal or couiYSry style, if you have a creative or artistic flair for living, or if you don’t want to invest a lot of money. I’ve seen just about everything planted with flowers or vegetables and have loved most of it.
