Pits In Pieces is a container gardening site for beginners working with small spaces. If your garden is a balcony, a patio, a few pots by a window, or a rented spot with no yard at all, this site is built for you.
The goal is simple: help you grow something and keep it alive. Most container failures come down to a few fixable things, a pot that is too small, the wrong soil, or watering at the wrong time. We cover those fundamentals plainly, without assuming you own a shed full of tools or know any of the jargon.
What you will find here
- Getting started: choosing pots, potting mix, watering, and avoiding common mistakes
- What to grow: forgiving vegetables, herbs, and flowers that do well in containers
- Small-space and balcony techniques, plus honest answers on cost and time
