In his spare time, he enjoys outdoor activities like camping, fishing, and hunting as well as gardening vegetables. Container gardening is an alternative for urban dwellers with limited space, where plants are grown in pots, buckets, or other containers placed outside. Container gardens need to be watered frequently, sometimes twice a day, to prevent the soil from drying out. While watering thoroughly, excess water should drain from the container to prevent roots and nutrients from rotting. Drainage holes in containers

2.  Currently the vice president of operations at Super
Stud Building Products, Inc., Raymond Frobosilo, Jr.,
has been with the firm since 1980. He is responsible for
all aspects of the company’s day-to-day
manufacturing operations, including packing and
shipping, as well as maintenance of the firm’s
manufacturing facility in Edison, New Jersey. When
he is not attending to his managerial responsibilities,
Raymond Frobosilo, Jr., enjoys outdoor activities such
as camping, fishing, and hunting; he also enjoys time
spent tending his vegetable garden.
Millions of Americans enjoy planting and tending
flower and vegetable gardens.

3.  For those with limited space, such as urban apartment
dwellers, container gardening is a great alternative to
traditional gardening. Container gardening involves
growing plants in pots, buckets, window boxes, or other
containers, and placing them outdoors to benefit from the
sun and rain. Some gardeners convert orange or
clementine crates into gardens, and some even use bales
of straw for container gardening.
Because the water evaporates quickly from a garden
container, it must be watered frequently; depending on
the plants and weather conditions, some container
gardens need to be watered as often as twice daily at the
height of the growing season.

4.  However, while it is important to water container plants
thoroughly, gardeners should allow any water not
absorbed by the soil to run off. If it simply pools in the
bottom of the container, roots and nutrients in the soil may
rot.
To facilitate soil drainage, there should be several holes
about one-half inch to an inch in diameter in the bottom
of the container. One problem is that these water
drainage holes also let soil escape. To counter this,
gardeners use natural products such as cocoa fiber,
burlap, or moss to cover drainage holes; other reliable
products include plastic window screening, Styrofoam
packing peanuts, coffee filters, and newspaper. Some
firms also manufacture special products for the purpose,
including Ups-a-Daisy planter inserts and Better Than
Rocks.
