Not sure what type of planter to grow your vegetables in? Well the healthiest type of terracotta clay. It breathes and root systems love the health benefits. Glaze of high fired pot or planters are very good because they won't absorb the water and will keep the soil moist for prolonged periods of time. Remember when choosing the best container, that dark colors absorb heat. Avoid black clay or black glossy planters. Also, make sure you don't use any Mexican pottery that has been lined with tar, as they may contain toxins or chemical compounds.

| When selecting, potting soil try to use a basic potting mix. Most nursery and landscape centers have soil specially for vegetable growth. The container the fertilizer that you need. Fill the container to an inch or two from the rim. Of course, you can always blend your own soil mix which save money.
