Another thing to remember is that you should mulch your garden plots when they are first planted. mulch prevents soil erosion and helps with water retention. However, you can’t do this when you are transplanting your plants. You need to remove the soil around the container or plant so you can move it when transplanting.

So how can container gardening to be done? It’s simple. You need a few tools such as a potting bench, potting soil, planting fork and a knife.

The best way to find out if a plant will fit is to place two or three tomato plants side by side and then pinch one of them to see if the roots are able to squeeze through. If they can, then your container is ready for transplant.
