Watch Out For Waterlogging
Waterlogging of plants means that your plants are literally drowning. All the spaces of air in the soil are filled with water so that no oxygen is able to reach the roots of the plant so root growth is halted. This can be caused by heavy rains, over-watering or poor drainage.

In order to prevent waterlogging which can be due to too much water or poor drainage there are a few things you can do.

The Benefits of Organic Container Gardening
With organic container gardening, you can transform a roof, patio, balcony, or tiny yard into a garden overflowing with natural beauty. You can also put weather sensitive plants in containers, so it is easy to move them indoors when the weather gets colder.
Plants are protected in containers from bugs and other pests that crawl on the ground. In your garden bed, slugs would quickly take over your beautiful flowers, but with containers they will be less apt to do so. Root eating pests can also be deterred from container plants when you use organic soil.
