GardenersCardiff answers:
Fine gardening magazine may be a good place for you to start. They put out a special edition each year about container gardening and a fool proof method of designing fantastic planters that will WOW your neighbors.
As far as large pots go, search your local garden centers. Stores in my area are trying to get rid of last years containers and have some for 1/2 off or better.
Try thinking outside the box or container and look for things that could be used for containers, but are not typically thought of as a container i.e. A bushel basket, an old wooden wheel barrow, a cart on wheels and old child’s wagon. Once you get a feel for what you want you could hit the yard sales and pick up some neat stuff for cheap.

Charles asks…
Is Better Homos and Gardens a good magazine to subscribe to?
I’ve been considering learning about gardening lately. My yard is beginning to look really bad since my sorry husband has stopped taking care of it like he used to. As a matter of fact he took the wrong medicine the other day and fell into one of our bushes. Now the poor bush is all ruined!! Plus the dogs in the neighborhood always come over and poo in the grass. I guess they are attracted to old man pee.
So would that be a good magazine to start reading and learning from or is there a better one for gardening? Thanks and blesses!!

Lisa asks…
Free gardening (vegetables, and flowers) magazines?
Can anybody suggest any free magazines that I can subscribe to that give tips on gardening, and also shows you good vegetables, flowers (annuals and perennials) to buy?
Currently I’m only subscribed to get Bluestone, and Burpee but I was trying to find other magazines.
GardenersCardiff answers:
I’m sorry but I don’t know of any good magazines that are free. But have you checked your library to see their magazine section has anything? If they do, you can make copies of the articles that interest you and then put them in a binder for later use.
I do that with recipes and find it really easy and organized.
Thomas asks…
Women please – What magazines did you purchase or subscribe to as young homemakers?
I was big on Ladies Home Journal and Home and Garden magazines. Family Circle was also a favorite.

Nancy asks…
Where can I find the best price for Fine Gardening Magazine?
Is there a certain website that offers the lowest prices? It’s not a cheap subscription so I thought I’d look around. Thanks!
GardenersCardiff answers:
When you subscribe to Fine Gardening Magazine before 6-30-08 (for $29.95) ……….
You will get a $25 gift certificate to White Flower Farm:
https://store.taunton.com/onlinestore/link/finegardening-magazine-subscription
Sounds like a good offer 
You save even more by getting the subscription for more than one year ($49.95 for 2 yrs)
P.S. I read this magazine for free at the library…but this offer is tempting
Good luck!!! Hope this helps.
