Container Gardening

Pittsburgh gardener Seth Finn talks about his container garden and the container garden on the roof of his daughter’s restaurant.


The restaurant rooftop garden furnished the restaurant with fresh figs and shishito peppers amongst other things.


We talk about:

  • Wicking containers
  • How often to replace or top up the potting soil
  • Growing figs in wicking containers on the roof
  • Plumbing together a series of containers to simplify watering
