			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you like gardening and you’ve read much, you’ve probably read from may different sources ev that container gardening is easy.</p>
<p>Well, everything is relative.  container gardening is not back breaking hard work.  You&#8217;re not breaking up rock hard soil or trying to turn dry clay and you don’tneed to week for hours on your hands and knees , but if you want great tasting and abundantly producing herbs and vegetables, container gardening isn&#8217;t easy at all.</p>
<p>Yes, you can keep them alive, but when vegetables and herbs get seriously stressed they don’t really forgive  you. And what does it take to seriously stress your container garden?  Usually its about water and food and most often it&#8217;s about allowing your containers to dry out.  Yes, you can water them when you get back from that one weekend you took off all summer, and they might look ok, but they&#8217;re not.</p>
<p>That’s why the new H’Urban Garden <a href="http://hurbangarden.com/">self  watering kitchen garden</a> is  such a fabulous idea.  With and abundant 18 gallon reservoir and the ongoing replenishment of  nutrients, you can grow anything from tomatoes to basil and get  outstanding results.  And it’s all because your kitchen garden will grow  without any stress to your plants or to you. Self watering &#8211; now that&#8217;s what you need.</p>
<p>Most of the greens you’ll grow – from  spinach to lettuces to  basil are all what are short season annuals. This means they are &#8216;wired&#8217;  to  sprout, put on an abundance of green growth (that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re eating) flower, set seed and die, all  in one year.  It’s the job that nature gave them to  set those seeds and if your plants are allowed to wilt  dangerously from a lack of water, their biological clock is kicked into  high gear and they&#8217;re quickly leave the stage of green growth prematurely  and “bolt” to seed.</p>
