I bought the book on square foot gardening just last week and there are certainly some interesting ideas included

Sinta, you can grow just about anything in a pot. By growing a Wisteria in a pot, you are automatically Bonsaing it anyway, so it shouldn`t get out of hand. However, you must make sure it doesn`t dry out and it must be fed regularly. I hope this is of some help.

Missed it, btw love your website
