Fruits, Vegetables & Edibles

Traditionally, container gardeners have struggled to grow fruits, vegetables & edibles. We have had great success container growing these plants with the Smart Pot.

A look at the mechanics of containers explains why the Smart Pot is better for these touchy plants. The Smart Pot aerates. With aeration, roots become more naturally fibrous. You can use a heavier, more water retentive mix that seems to support these plants better. You can use a mix that has some soil content. And heat can not build up in the Smart Pot.

In a plastic container, on the other hand, you generally use a light mix that requires more maintenance. Heat is an important factor. A resent study at the University of New Hampshire showed temperatures inside a plastic container can easily top 120 degrees in the sun. Roots do not grow in 120-degree soil, and if the roots do not grow, your plant will not grow.

Fruits, vegetables and edibles are often grown by gardeners in raised beds. The Smart Pot duplicates this aerated atmosphere. And even the largest Smart Pots are easy to install and use.

The Smart Pot offers container gardeners a whole new look at fruits, vegetables and edibles!


Happy Gardening!
