About Us

Potted Harvest is an independent online publication. A hands-on container-growing manual for people whose entire garden is a balcony, patio, rooftop or windowsill. Every article is written to the constraints of pots: finite root volume, fast-drying soil, weight limits, and one or two hours of usable sun. Rather than general encouragement to grow your own, the site answers the sizing, soil-volume, drainage and watering questions that decide whether a potted crop actually produces — then applies those fundamentals crop by crop, from herbs and strawberries to potatoes, ginger, blueberries and dwarf citrus. The aim is specific numbers, honest yield expectations, and troubleshooting that names the failure modes plainly.

Our Mission

We create useful, practical, and actionable content for Apartment and small-home dwellers aged roughly 25-55 who want to grow edible plants without a garden bed: renters with balconies, condo owners with a sunny patio, first-time growers intimidated by in-ground gardening, and experienced gardeners who have downsized. They shop at hardware stores and garden centres, buy potting mix by the bag, and search in plain language ("how deep does the pot need to be") rather than with botanical terms. Mobile-first readers, often mid-decision in a store aisle or standing on the balcony with an empty pot. Every guide explains why a method works, so you can adapt it to your own conditions — no clickbait, no filler.

Our Editorial Process
