feel like container gardening is just hard. You're trying to maintain soil and nutrient quality that changes so quickly. Plants will suck up nutrients fast. And when you water, you're washing some of it out anyway.

Yeah my squash trap plants are in pots. I fed them the same amount of calcium nitrate as the rest of my raised bed garden and the leaves are yellowing.

I think the biggest issue most people have with container gardening is consistent watering. And like Devious mentioned, depleted soil from water washing nutrients away. The most success I've had with anything grown in containers is by feeding with a water soluble fertilizer at least once a week.
