How to Start a Container Garden Step 1: Find Containers to Use Old buckets, jars, and even broken toys can be used as plant containers. Next, fill with soil the containers. Next, sow your seeds or small plants in the earth. Water them regularly and place them in a sunny spot where they can get plenty of sunlight.

Consider how much space the plants will take up and how much sunlight they will need when choosing plants for your container garden. Some plants such as herbs thrive in small containers while others such as tomatoes require larger containers. Be sure to read the plant tags (or ask someone at the store if you need help) regarding appropriate plant selection.
Remember to water your plants regularly to ensure their health and happiness. Containers dry out faster than garden beds, so check the soil frequently and water if needed. And be sure to fertilize your plants every couple of weeks to promote strong growth. Finally, if you spot any pests or diseases on your plants, ensure you tackle them immediately to keep your garden strong and healthy.
