Any success with veg containers?

Helen thats one of my in hand bag tools as well,
was getting fed up getting into trouble in my local homebase for borrowing there measuring tapes :D :D kathy

 

I've just bought potatoes, elephant garlic, radishes and hot chillis for containers, but will start with them indoors and then in a frame (even though it stays pretty mild where we are). I want the chillis to deter the squirrels, and apparently garlic will keep a lot of the insect pests away (although I didn't suffer much from pests last year). All our slugs seem to have headed off to the massive rave they're having in our compost heap, so I hope they'll stay away!

 

have to grow my veggies in tubs as i live in a ground floor flat,to many shrubs in garden,
have grown,beans,potatoes,beetroot,carrots.radish.
tomatoes,

 

Last year I had good results from growing a few spuds in a spring loaded garden rubbish container that was a bit past its sell by date, so plenty of drainage holes in it.

They are a bit bigger than the average tub, so the spuds had plenty of room.
