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.

These lettuces are so fresh, pure and perfect.

We grow our lettuce in an aerogarden usually, but grow it outside when it’s not too hot.
Grow some arugula, it’s a nice addition to your lettuce.
A small cup of beer in the pot will also attract slugs and they drown in it. Check it daily.
