Tips: Potted Vegetable and Herb Gardens

Who knew you could have a garden in pots?

Geri Van Wezel-Bolen in the Dearborn Market Gardening Center said it's easy to have a small vegetable or herb garden, even when living in an apartment. All you need are the right ools and plenty of sunlight.

Potting soil, rather than top soul, is key to a successful potted garden. A heavy concrete or plastic pot will keep the soil at the right temperature through potential chilly nights.
