Vege Gardens in pots?

You can grow anything in pots, including potatoes- you just need a big pot! You can pick up books from paperplus/whitcoulls for about $15 that show you how to start out and keep going.

Main thing is dont let the plants dry out to much, and make sure they dont cook their roots in hot sunshine by using lighter coloured pots. You also have to figure out how much space you have as to what you are going to plant. Brassica type plants take up heaps of room where as beans, tomatoes, carrot etc.. can take up smaller amounts.

Anything that climbs put a whole bunch of sticks in the pot when you plant them and they will grow up them. Its just trial and error really, give it a go and let us know how you get on

I do! I want to make a tire swing...but no, they can't grow into the ground or be given any chance of 'polluting' the national environment by spreading seed so they have to be on the porch or preferably inside!

Amazing, growing potatoes in pots. I'm sure i can find a really really big one. I will report back but i'm not moving for another month so it'll take some time!

Mealz that'd probably be a handy way of composting too. Tire compost!

Someone once told me, you can grow potatoes in buckets. 1 seed potato per bucket.
I always grow some of my veges in pots.
In summer tomatoes, basil and zuccini and snowpeas do very well. And of course lettuce does well, almost all year round.

we have everything in pots chick. i use the black plastic gardening bags which are cheap as chips from mitre 10 or any other gardening place, and grow tomatoes, beans, beetroot, peas, strawberries, fruit trees of all descriptions, cauli and broccolli, silverbeet, lettuce, etc. gotta keep them well watered but i find cutting the bottom of a fizzy bottle and burying the top end in the dirt then filling it with water helps keep everything damp. with potatoes its fish bins or we just cut open the top of a compost bag and bury the seed potatoes and leave to do its thing.

DF and I once lived in a two bedroom apartment which was in a set of 32 units, we were on ground floor and had no grass at all, just a small cobbled area out the front and rocks out the back by the clothesline. Well once I figured out you could grow almost anything in pots I had about 15 pots.

We had excellent sun and the plants grew really well. I found myself shifting pots when the sun moved to protect those who did not like full sun, but apart from that it was all good. We grew corgettes, capsicum, jalepeno and tabasco peppers, gherkin, lettuce, cabbage, raddish and carrots amongst other things.

Great idea! Thanks for the advice
