Sandy...One reason is because I have 6 inches of gravel as the base of my greenhouse. But, even if I didn't, I like growing in containers. I feel I have more control over soil conditions, I can raise the plants up higher (great as you get older), and if there is a problem with a particular plant I can easily remove/isolate it from the others. I have grown in soil, raised beds, elevated beds, probably the whole 9 yards of ways of growing, but I have had the most success in containers...perhaps, I finally just got things "right" as a grower, and I just happened to be growing in containers when I did, so I stick with them. Rolling my eyes.
