9 Vegetables That Grow BETTER in Containers Than In Ground
A 71-year-old gardener in Sheffield handed me a courgette grown in a 20-gallon grow bag on his second-floor balcony. It weighed more than anything coming out of his neighbour's quarter-acre allotment that summer. The reason has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with what the garden centre has been hiding from American and British gardeners for three generations. The pesticide companies, the soil amendment industry, and the plant nurseries make billions every spring on the back of failed in-ground vegetable beds. What they will never tell you is that nine of the most popular home garden vegetables actually outperform their in-ground counterparts when grown in properly sized containers. Bigger yields. Earlier harvests. Almost no disease pressure. Zero soil-borne pathogens.
