I'm quite sure it's because of extra nutrients and 'fluffier' soil; it does question the idea that healthy soil webs and organic-rich soil is the only way to grow vegetables, at least in my mind. There's a reason that vegetables grown hydroponically flourish in solutions of water-soluble major- and micro-nutrients. But remember my challenges in the fertilizer department, too!

I use containers for early lettuce and Mini Bell peppers in the summer....they work great for me.
Hmmmm . . . I may have to use containers more in my garden. So far, I've been working in raised beds and this year expanding them. Will try some containers and see what happens. :)
I'm such a newbie gardener, so I just wondered if I could ask how you harvest greens, when they've grown? And will another bunch grow?
Harvesting greens is easy at home - I generally cut the outermost leaves, leaving the inner leaves to grow. This is a different practice than what commercial growers do, and extends the productivity of lettuce, chard, kale, mustard, and other leafy greens.
