Plant your own fresh fruit and vegetable garden

Many people want to eat healthier, which includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables; but prices at the local market can make this expensive to do.  You can always plant a garden, but not everyone has the space for that. The answer to both problems is container gardening.  This course gives you the information you need to get started in the satisfying world of gardening. You will learn how to choose and prepare containers, the basics of plant nutrition and feeding, and how to produce productive plants.  You will also learn where to find the right plants for your containers, the various types of plants available, and how to protect them from pests, disease, and the elements.
