Made from UV stable, frost resistant plastic, they are extremely robust and will last for up to 10 years. They are frequently used by professional growers for raising trees and shrubs - which shows just how good they are!

The last rule is the same for all plants grown in containers. Keep them well watered. Keep in mind that, normally, plants can extend their roots deep into the soil in search of water, but when grown in containers the roots are confined and as such are reliant on you to keep the soil moist. Sometimes the pot design does differ if a different supplier is used but pot quality will not be compromised. They need access to water and nutrients 24/7 – when the plants want them, rather than when we give them. The pictures below show, from left to right in each image, the following varieties in 10 and 30 litre pots:The are made from durable HDPE Plastic they will last many seasons before they need replacing. Please Note: All Sizes are approximate. I must say I have been very successful applying feed and water via saucers in which final pots (not breathable Rhizopots) stand: seaweed as a balanced food, various tomorite concentrations or comfrey tea as potassium-rich food. Rarely after June 1st will this cause root problems and pots can be removed from saucers if cool weather visits. Applying liquid morning and evening (lunchtime too if temp exceeds 27C) means plants are always receiving water and nutrients on a daily basis.

Recommended use: Container pots used for shrubs, herbaceous and climbers’ examples: poinsettia & large cyclamen. These can be used for potting on as the plant matures and needs a bigger pot.Some of the best seed potatoes for growing on in containers are the early and second early varieties. That’s because these potatoes are much smaller than maincrop types and therefore need less room. However, you still need quite large containers to accommodate all of the new tubers that will be produced. A first early seed potato can produce approximately 7 times its own weight in new potatoes. A maincrop seed potato can produce approximately 12 times its weight. In both cases, it can be more depending on the quality of the soil and growing conditions. Choosing the correct potato bags and containers Dimensions: 40.8cm diameter top, 29.8cm diameter base and 33cm depth. Internal top diameter 36cm. Capacity: 30 litres.

Fertilizer. The decision to use fertilizer comes down to personal choice. Some gardeners prefer to mix slow releasing fertilizer into the soil during potting, whereas others prefer to use natural liquid plant feed once the foliage has developed. Regardless of what you choose, read and follow the fertilizer instructions and do not overfeed the plant. This method doesn’t require any growing medium at all – roots are suspended in a trough of flowing water and nutrients, a bit like a horizontal drain pipe. Water and nutrients flow over the roots several times each day (or hour!) and plants are able to access all they need. So now that the potatoes have been planted that’s it, right? Wrong. There is more work to be done during the growing process. This additional work is called hilling. Our pots can be bought with saucers to fit. Our plant pot saucers act as a water retention unit, which can not only save you the mess of soily water but can provide a steady source of water to the plants it’s under.Sunlight. Place your potato containers in an area that gets at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Potting soil. For the best results, you should use the highest quality soil that you can, look for soil which is suited to container gardening as this type allows water to drain easily. If you aren’t sure which is the best compost for growing potatoes in pots, your local garden centre will be able to help you choose the right soil. We are excited to introduce you to a method of growing potatoes that doesn’t require a lot of space and is, arguably, easier than growing traditionally. This method is growing potatoes in pots, as mentioned previously the biggest benefit of this method is that it does not need a lot of space. Similarly for gardeners and home owners they’re great to keep in the shed or basement and use for gathering fallen leaves in autumn, or transporting compost and planting materials in the growing season. They’re strong and rigid design will ensure they last for many years to come.

Dimensions: 50cm diameter top, 35.2cm diameter base and 40.5cm depth. Internal top diameter 45cm. Capacity: 50 litres. However, by watering and feeding so that plants can take what they want, when they want, means that they won’t grow big root systems because they don’t need to! Dimensions: 9cm diameter top and 7cm depth. Capacity: 0.29 litres. Recommendeduse: For pot bedding and young plants. Last year with Quadgrows my yields were the best yet with 5lb of Zenith salad tomatoes from a plant with 4 trusses. They also developed very rapidly, saying Quadgrow is great if length of season is a concern. First, chit (sprout) the seed potatoes by placing them in egg boxes and positioning them in a warm sunny place for a few days. Next, fill your containers to about a third of its depth with a general compost. For a 30 litre container place one seed potato in the centre. For a 40 litre or bigger container, place 3 seed potatoes, evenly spaced. Cover the seed potatoes with compost so that two thirds of the container is now full. As the emerging plants get bigger, add more compost until the container is full to within 2.5cm of the top. Apply water regularly and feed the plants with fish, blood and bone or a proprietary potato fertiliser.This particular range of large plant pots have handles fitted to the top rim of the pot. Making them easy to move and transport when needed. Just to take the point to the extreme, a lot of supermarket tomatoes (the best quality ones) are now grown using the Nutrient Film Techniques (NFT). This space requirement is off-putting for many gardeners as it means either removing plants to make room or giving up on the idea of eating tasty, homegrown potatoes.
