Blog On Container Gardening

February 15, 2008 in Uncategorized

After setting my mind to use only recycled containers to grow my plants in, I was delighted to find this blog, Container Gardening, by Dr. Willem Van Cotthem. There are alot of useful links about container gardening that I could refer to and I’m going to try making a self-watering container with a plastic bottle after reading his blog.

Container Gardening is later merged with his other blog, Desertification, about desertification and poverty, agriculture and horticulture in the drylands.

In Container Gardening, I’ve also chanced upon JRP Recycling Plastic blog about recycling plastic containers for growing food to fight poverty.

====================

Sincere thanks to Teresa, who introduces herself and her blog as : “Limited apartment space is not a deterrent to my garden dreams. I’m no green-thumb but always have alot of hope and optimism. I’m located in Singapore, a tropical Asian country. Comments, especially gardening tips, are greatly welcomed. Thanks for dropping by! Teresa“.

I put her blog on my blogroll !

Willem and whomever, Teresa mentions trying to add a self-watering element to the design.
In Your Humble Opinion, with the use of polymers, how much more benefit might self-watering technology make?
