Planter boxes, wooden barrels, hanging baskets and large flowerpots are a small sampling of some of the containers that can be used. Tips to remember: Avoid containers with narrow openings. Cheap plastic pots may deteriorate in UV sunlight and terracotta pots dry out rapidly. Glazed ceramic pots are excellent choices but require several drainage holes. Wooden containers are susceptible to rot. Redwood and cedar are relatively rot resistant and can be used without staining or painting. Avoid wood treated with creosote, penta or other toxic compounds since the vapors can damage the plants. Video demonstration on how to plant vegetable or herb gardens in containers
