Starting your first urban garden with planter boxes is exciting, but common pitfalls can hinder your success. One major error is neglecting drainage. Without adequate holes and a layer of gravel or broken pottery, roots can sit in water and rot. Conversely, overwatering is a frequent misstep; many beginners water on a schedule rather than checking soil moisture, leading to drowned plants. Choosing the wrong soil is another mistake. Garden soil is too dense for containers—opt for a high-quality potting mix that ensures proper aeration and nutrients. Overcrowding seeds or seedlings seems generous but stunts growth as plants compete for light and resources. Finally, placing sun-loving plants in shade or vice versa guarantees poor results. By understanding these common errors, you can set up your planter box for a lush and productive urban garden.
