For those of you who follow me, which, um, is no-one, you'll know I ditched the traditional veggie patch for growing stuff in pots and it's paying dividends.
The advantages of a pot or tub garden for me are:
.easier to keep tree roots at bay. .snails/slugs need to climb which might make the plants less vulnerable? Doubt it.Snails etc are great climbers. .more efficient watering. .easier to change the garden about if need be i.e. just move a pot.
"You're plucking them regularly?" - not as regularly as I'd like. I grow the veggies my wife wants me to and then she doesn't eat them ffs! Thanks to her telling me how thrilled she'd be if I could grow cucumbers...we had cucumbers coming out our ears and I had to eat most of them! Next year I'll definitely grow less. And ditto lettuces, beans.
