With Container Gardening:
Watering is by far the greatest chore of container gardening and it needs to be done generously and regularly. Rain is never adequate on its own and can fool you into thinking the containers are wetter than they really are. Automatic irrigation is well worth considering for a large container garden.The greatest advantage of container gardening is that the containers can be moved around the garden at will to create a series of different effects. Furthermore, you can replace the plants in them when they have passed their best, or even if you decide that you want a change of color scheme, thus you are assured of a continuous display of flowers to suit.
With container gardening, you should bear in mind certain ground rules. You need to consider the work involved in occasional changes of soil, potting up and repotting; most important of all, you need to consider watering. Do the containers have adequate drainage? Is there a water supply nearby? Will you be able to use liquid feeds? What will happen if you are away or on holiday?
