The pictures below show, from left to right in each image, the following varieties in 10 and 30 litre pots:
The humble potato has been a staple of the British diet since the end of the 16th century, it has earned its place in the pantheon of British dishes by adding tantalising delicacies such as mashed potatoes and roast potatoes, along with many others, to our palette. Dimensions: 40.8cm diameter top, 29.8cm diameter base and 33cm depth. Internal top diameter 36cm. Capacity: 30 litres. For large containers which will hold multiple plants, it is important to give each plant as much room to grow as possible so avoid placing the potatoes too close to each other.
Containers vs Garden Border Soil
Dimensions: 12cm diameter top, 7.7cm diameter base and 10.7cm depth. Capacity: 0.735 litres. Recommended use: For pot bedding and young plants. Last year with Quadgrows my yields were the best yet with 5lb of Zenith salad tomatoes from a plant with 4 trusses. They also developed very rapidly, saying Quadgrow is great if length of season is a concern. Some of the best seed potatoes for growing on in containers are the early and second early varieties. That’s because these potatoes are much smaller than maincrop types and therefore need less room. However, you still need quite large containers to accommodate all of the new tubers that will be produced. A first early seed potato can produce approximately 7 times its own weight in new potatoes. A maincrop seed potato can produce approximately 12 times its weight. In both cases, it can be more depending on the quality of the soil and growing conditions. Choosing the correct potato bags and containers Rot capping is when surface roots become so pot-bound that they form a cap of tight fibrous roots at the soil surface. Oxygen is prevented from entering into the root area below and the gasses that are given off by respiration are prevented from escaping. The last rule is the same for all plants grown in containers. Keep them well watered. Keep in mind that, normally, plants can extend their roots deep into the soil in search of water, but when grown in containers the roots are confined and as such are reliant on you to keep the soil moist.
It is particularly important for those feeding organically that there is plenty of oxygen in the root system because soil microbes need oxygen too! Dimensions: 64cm diameter top, 46.3cm diameter base and 53.5cm depth. Internal top diameter 59.5cm. Capacity: 125 litres. Our pots can be bought with saucers to fit. Our plant pot saucers act as a water retention unit, which can not only save you the mess of soily water but can provide a steady source of water to the plants it’s under. This particular range of large plant pots have handles fitted to the top rim of the pot. Making them easy to move and transport when needed.Dimensions: 50cm diameter top, 35.2cm diameter base and 40.5cm depth. Internal top diameter 45cm. Capacity: 50 litres.

Just to take the point to the extreme, a lot of supermarket tomatoes (the best quality ones) are now grown using the Nutrient Film Techniques (NFT). When digging the hole you shouldallow for around 30% increase in the pot size for depth and width so for example a 20 litre pot is 34cm diameter x 27cm depth - the planting hole should be around 44cm diameter x 35cm depth. The same calculation can be used if repotting into a larger pot on arrival. Dimensions: 55.5cm diameter top, 39cm diameter base and 48.2cm depth. Internal top diameter 50.5cm. Capacity: 75 litres. Not everyone has spacious gardens or allotments, so taking a little time to plan what type of potatoes you want to grow and where, will reap big rewards. For example, you could plan to grow earlies and second earlies in potato bags and containers, leaving your vegetable plot or allotment for free for maincrop potatoes. Alternatively, and if space is very limited then you could simply grow maincrop potatoes only, in bags or containers. It’s all about getting the most from your limited space and there are plenty of variety choices to help you decide which one might be best for you. Four maincrop plants left for final pots on Monday, given weather forecast, soil based going in on Monday too and 31st for Quadgrows and other competition plants.Dimensions: 60cm diameter top, 42.2cm diameter base and 43cm depth. Internal top diameter 54cm. Capacity: 80 litres. The are made from durable HDPE Plastic they will last many seasons before they need replacing. Please Note: All Sizes are approximate.
