2007-03-12 /prbuzz/ -- If you've ever wanted to grow your own vegetables and fruits, but you don't have the space or the time, container gardening might be just the answer you're looking for. A brand new site gives free container gardening tips for new gardeners who may not have the time or space for a traditional garden.

The new site is the brainchild of Amy Stevens, a long-time fan of container gardening. Amy has been gardening in containers for around two decades! Her experience and love for container gardening shine through in this website, and in its companion blog.

“It doesn't matter if you're young or old, if you're disabled, or even if you live in an urban apartment, you can grow your own fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit in containers,” say Amy. “I believe very firmly that absolutely anyone can use this method to grow some of their own produce, and I want to spread that passion to as many people as possible.”

Container gardening has been growing in popularity for decades, mostly due to the increase in the number of people who live in apartments and duplexes, and the decreasing size of the average yard. These days, many new houses are built on very little land, and many homeowners may not have room for a traditional garden. Container gardening can be the answer they've been looking for.

Container gardening is also a fantastic way for the very young and the elderly to experience the joy of growing their own food. It is so simple and inexpensive that even younger children can grow a few plants, and since the container can get places on shelves or tables, even the elderly or the disabled can place their containers in areas where they can be easily reached and tended to.

Amy's website, www.container-gardening-tips.com, is an ongoing project. Amy says that she will continue to add information, and she hopes it will become the premier go-to site for anyone who is interested in container gardening.
