I'm glad its given a few of you the spur to have a go. It is really easy to do and not much trouble really. The size of the plant in the picture could I reckon be achieved in about 5 yrs from a single bulb, given good watering and feeding through the summer. Personally I'd say ignore any...

Iv also folded mine over.I love gunnera and that's a cracker mate.My one i'snt as big as that yet however it's doing very well thanks to you banana man.It's the one that you sent me in the spring.

Growbags? What are growbags?I grow toms etc. in 50% loam, 50% home made compost either in large pots or cheapo 99p builder's buckets with drainage holes added. End of season knock the soil off the roots, roots and tops go in for next year's compost and the spent soil goes on the garden
