Gardening Methods

Has anyone in Arizona been successful with container gardening?

I have been successful with regular gardening. But every thing I grew in pots died.

Hello, I live in Yuma and its very hard to grow things in pots in AZ. But there is a secret… Hide the pot it self from the sun. what i do is put a smaller pot in front of the big pot then put a smaller pot in front of that one and so on. Or grow hanging plants around the edges of a big pot and grow what you want in the middle. you see the problem is the sun bakes the pot and dries out the roots or cooks them so hide them from the sun.
