No matter how big or small the garden is, there are certain supplies that are mandatory like seed starting soil, compost, fertilizers etc for every garden. Container plants are less affected by pests and weeds. So if it is a pot gardening, there is no need to bother about buying synthetic pest control chemicals, rather natural or organic materials like neem oil can be used in little quantities.
