The common mistake is to invest in expensive pots and containers to enhance the beauty of the plants and the area. This is especially true if you are a novice because you do not yet know whether your plants will survive or not and it’s a wasteful expenditure to buy expensive stuff.
Your rubbish bin will be a wonderful place to begin with and all you need is a pair of scissors. Odd sets of old ceramic jugs, bowls or mugs will make for eclectic yet attractive containers for indoor gardening.
Soda bottles, ice cube trays or egg containers can also be converted into seedling pots to keep the box garden costs down. Or, if you are adept enough, opt for a do it yourself box garden box which can be hammered from wood. The only thing which you must ensure is to provide a hole at the bottom of these containers for drainage.

During season time they may even offer seed packages and potting soil as well as some basic gardening tools like mini watering cans and trowels.
Many cities and municipalities also give away free compost from designated areas in order to encourage environmental consciousness. Local nurseries sometimes may offer free compost or tips on how to procure it. Ask friends, family, and neighbors for cuttings if they have gardens; see if they can spare a few containers; they may even have extra unused seed packets which you can opt for to get your container garden started.
