When thinking about what you plant in your garden, you may think to yourself “I can use Styrofoam in a planter!” Many people do this, but they are wrong. Using Styrofoam is not the right way to plant your garden. If you want to plant flowers or vegetables, you have other options. Let’s look at the pros and cons of container garden versus planter garden.

First of all, by using Styrofoam planters instead of pots, you’ll save a ton of money. Pots can be very expensive, depending on the size of the pots and what you buy. If you decide on container gardening, you can usually get good deals.

When thinking of planting a container garden, you also have more options. Can you use an existing container garden? Can you buy a new container garden and plant seeds inside of it? The possibilities are endless, so you’re certain to find a method that works for you!

Can I use Styrofoam planters in potting soil? Well, Styrofoam planters are fine to use in any type of potting soil, as long as you make sure that the potting soil is non-slippery. It should also drain easily, and it shouldn’t retain water or other liquids. Most commercial vegetable planters are made from a non-slippery material like peat moss. However, if you buy a pot with drainage holes in it, you might have a hard time getting the plants into the ground.

Can I use Styrofoam planters in container gardens that are outside? You can use them in the ground, or you can buy Styrofoam planters that are meant to be placed directly on the ground. These kinds of planters are a little bit trickier to plant in, because it doesn’t allow you to put the plant containers on the bottom, as you would with a traditional potting soil. What you want to do is put the Styrofoam planters on top of a layer of soil, so that the plant container will be buried in the ground. Make sure that you place the container garden plants on the bottom so that they don’t spill over onto the Styrofoam planter below.

Can I plant plants directly onto Styrofoam planters? You can, but you have to be careful. Putting a plant directly onto a Styrofoam planter could cause some problems. First, if you put too many plants on one Styrofoam container, some of them may get crushed. Also, you should make sure that the plants you plan to put on top of the container garden are not toxic to your plants, or to anyone else in the household.

Can I use Styrofoam in a container garden? You certainly can, as long as you’re careful with the plants. Just be aware that it can get slippery when wet, and that it’s very easy for planters to collapse. Of course, this is why you should only use planters indoors, if you’re trying to grow anything at all. If you’re going to use pots indoors, you should make sure you either have them on stands or have a rack inside to keep them upright. Even if it’s just to help keep your plants off the floor.

Where can I use Styrofoam planters? They can be used just about anywhere, inside and out. You can use them outside, inside, or in a container garden. And they can be used in so many different ways that you’re truly limited only by your imagination. Just remember, if you’re ever in doubt, always ask your local gardening retailer.

Can I use Styrofoam planters in a container garden? Yes, you can, as long as you clean it properly. Because it’s porous, it can absorb a lot of dirt and liquids. If you don’t want to soak it up, make sure you only put water down the sides, not the bottom, or else it will get submerged. Any liquid residue should be cleaned up immediately with a hose.

Where can I use Styrofoam planter in a container garden? One good place to use them is in a container that has a hole in the bottom. That way, you can just put the plant in there and then cover it with more Styrofoam. It will retain the moisture, and it won’t get drowned out. That makes a great container garden in a kitchen too.

Can I use Styrofoam planters for planting plants outside? Yes, you can. Just remember that you will need to move the plastic planters to ensure they get enough sunlight. Planting plants outside is a great idea, because you can move them when needed. If you move them to the side of your house, it’s easy to clean up any spills.
