    Sorry about that, too much chat, poor memory, and all that.

    But, in conclusion, the upshot was 11" - 12" and around 10 Litres. (Bigger will be fine of course).

    If you haven't got anything that big, and don't want a grow bag, consider cutting a grow bag in half and standing each half on its end - i.e. you get two containers, the right size, and compost included - which will be cheaper than buying 12" pots for sure!
