PVC Planters Better than Wood, Season after Season

Container gardening is really popular to those who love gardening. One of the things you need to consider right away is the scale of the space you are working in. One mistake people often make is they choose really tiny containers and they take them outside and put it in an area where they can't be recognized. The good thing about big containers is that they can actually become focal points just like an ordinary furniture. And grouping them together with different sizes and shapes can really make a great impact.

When you are doing container gardening, anything can be a container but you should always consider the materials that you are using. If you use Plastic, it can hold water better when it is hot and dry so that means this is good for dry season. For clay pots, you need to make sure that your plants have enough water since the clay pot is porous in nature. But some prefer plastic especially with flower boxes.

Flower box comes in many shapes and sizes. They mostly come in plastic, however people prefer to use the newer PVC planters. PVC planters rich detailing makes it look just like wood, but unlike wood it's not going to peel, crack or fade. It will keep its good look season after season. PVC window boxes come in lengths from 2 feet up to six feet long and can be custom ordered to the inch in any size that you like. They come with enough brackets for you to hang it firmly on your window sill. It is also equipped with a water reservoir so your plants will not dry up so quickly.

Containers are really personal preference. However, keep in mind that you need to think about the scale and the size of the container(s) you are going to use in a particular space. Think about grouping the family of containers of similar materials, different sizes and slightly different shapes. Decide whether the container is the thing that you want to be dominant or whether the plant material in that container supposed to take center stage. If you decide the plant to be the thing that is the most beautiful and the most wonderful, you have all the plants you can sort and choose from.
