Container Gardening

[Fred]

We're going to have a go at some container gardening, do to health problems I wasn't able to get the garden ready on time for sticking the Veg in. But last year we managed to grow a few Carrots, Lettuce, Beetroot, and Leeks in an old Bath.



So this year we have searched out various containers for a trial run to see how well it goes, were playing it mostly by ear and trying it as we go.



Got a load of compost form our local déchetterie.



So here we go, if I remember I will post more images as things progress.

Just remembered I said I would update. Well we had a few successes, but overall it didn't give us enough food for a year so we are going back to beds next year.

Some things grew well Chard for example, but that will grow anywhere. Some things failed, the potatoes were rubbish. We may keep a few for herbs, and maybe the bath for strawberry's but all in all I would say if you have limited space it's worth doing, but if you want to grow all your own veg it will be difficult.
