ManilaMailDC.Net - Using Pot To Grow Organic Plant

Generally using pot to grow organic plant is done by those who have limited yard or those who live in the city, and there is no spare yard for planting. Growing organic plant in pot has two advantages: fresh vegetables for cooking and beautiful green environment. Anybody can do it and it can be done anywhere.

You can choose any pot for your organic plant, any shape, material and size as long as you think the pot is suitable for the plant. Therefore, you do not actually need to buy in stores, but you can use anything such as bamboo, bottle, bucket, plastic bag or even paint container, make sure you clean them first. You can use them for your organic plant, no need the new one!

Bamboo for instance, you can cut it 15 centimeters long with diameters 10 centimeters, cover one side with iron sheet or plastic, then it is ready to use. It looks even more unique and natural. Or perhaps you can create your own design, try to use plank. This one is normally called, container planting.

Pot measurement used for organic plant may be vary, this will depend on the plant. Mostly depend on their different types of root, single main root and clump. For instance, cabbage and celery, you can use 15 centimeters depth with 10 centimeters diameters, spinach is more suitable in 10 centimeters depth. Tomato and chili are best in 20 centimeters depth with 25 centimeters diameter.

Many people think that propagate plants can not be used in pot, like cucumber, this is false opinion, you still can plant it in pot. But first you need to make a ‘propagator’ using wider pot than above measurement, at minimum 30 centimeters diameters and 25 centimeters depth, or you can use plastic bucket. Meanwhile, the ‘propagator’ is quite simple by cutting thin a bamboo into 3 pieces, measure at 0,5 (D) x 3 (W) x 90 (L) centimeters. Do the following steps:-

· Cross the 2 pieces thin bamboo
· Tie together the cross middle base, you can use wire or thin rope
· Then bend it, so it has 4 ‘legs’ and hold it
· Take the other 1 left thin bamboo, circle it around the 4 ‘legs’, tie it together so the ‘4 legs’ stay still
· Put the 4 ‘legs’ into the pot bottom. Your ‘propagator’ is ready for your propagate plants.
