Container gardening has now become water efficient thanks to a fusion of two gardening methods I learnt about, wicker and hugelkultur. Wicker is used for container gardening where there is a water reserve in the bottom of the pot and uses osmosis to keep the soil moist and Hugelkultur is where wood is buried under a mound of dirt to help retain moisture and slowly break down helping to ffed the plants planted upon it. I have fused the two methods and now growing some flowers in a pot with this method on my front porch.
