If you live in an apartment, have limited space for growing, or you just want to grow more vegetables than you can fit in your garden, then here is your opportunity. Almost everything can be grown in a container. The biggest concern you have is that the plants need direct sunlight. In the case of vegetables, this is usually "full" sun, except for some salad greens, which do fine in dappled light or part sun. If the container sizes are kept light enough to carry, you have the advantage of being able to move them to take fullest advantage of the sun (or rain), and also to use them in an ornamental way. Generally, it works to use rich soil that does not drain too quickly, especially if you use clay pots. An ideal mixture for a pot would contain as many of the following as possible: Well rotted compost/manure, garden
