That's the idea. pPods are designed to provide the best protected environment for your location, so all that is left is making sure that your plants are appropriate for your location and that they get the right amount of food and water.
Here are some hints for maximizing the probability that you will be able to do some high-quality growing in your pPod:
• In hotter climates, you will have better success with plants that are not sensitive to extreme heat. All plants have a temperature range where they are happiest and grow the fastest. More temperature sensitive plants, like cilantro or dill, will get stressed in prolonged heat above 90 degrees, even in the shade. Check with a local garden center for recommendations on plants for your area.
NOTE: During hot weather or when direct sunlight can heat up the pPod, be sure to open the top of the pPod slightly to allow some circulation
• In cooler climates, make sure your pPod gets enough hours of direct sun all year if you don’t have supplementary grow lights installed. The more hours of each day that your plants are exposed to sunlight or properly selected grow lights, the faster your plants will grow and the less likely they will succumb to disease, mold, etc. In the winter, sunlight is important for helping to keep the inside of the pPod as warm as possible.
• Container gardening is different than growing plants in the ground, especially with plants that normally like to put down deep roots. For example, you need to have carrots growing in a deep container inside the pPod. Unless you intend to do hydroponic or semi-hydroponic gardening, give your roots as much room as possible.
• Making sure you have the right kind of planting mix is a little trickier. Some commercial potting mixes contain plenty of nutrients and start out draining well, but usually need to be replaced or supplemented after one season.
