potato barrelIt is now possible to grow an amazing crop of delicious new potatoes on your patio or balcony. The secret lies in being able to "earth them up" 2ft (60cm) high, which is impractical in an open garden.

Follow the instructions provided and you should be able to grow a bumper crop (or even two crops) in your first season. By planting the first crop early enough in February, you can grow a second crop for harvesting in the autumn. All you need is one giant bag of good general purpose compost, 5 seed potatoes and a little patience.

Strawberry Tub

Victorian style strawberry tub in a decorative terracotta finish. Made from frost resistant polypropylene for long life. Approx. 60cm high by 43cm diameter. Easy to assemble.
It is now possible to grow an amazing crop of delicious strawberries on your patio or balcony. The tub comfortably hold 32 plants, 24 in cups, and 8 on the top. Plant in early spring, a variety recommended is Cambridge Favourite. Once planted will produce pounds of fruit - year after year.

Follow the instructions provided and you should be able to grow a bumper crop. We suggest a permanent site in a sheltered, but sunny position. The tub will hold 80 litres of compost. Fill the bottom of the tub with compost up to the first level of holes and carefully push the plant foliage through the holes from the inside, positioning the roots so that the crown of the plant is just above soil level. Repeat this process with each hole, firming down the compost well, until you reach the top and the compost level is approx. 1" from the rim. Contains a unique watering tube in the centre to ensure each individual strawberry plant stays moist. Eight plants can be planted in the top surface of the compost - one at each corner, firm down well. Use the net supplied to keep the birds away from your ripening fruit.

All you need is one giant bag of good general purpose compost, 32 strawberry plants and a little patience, to produce an attractive display on your patio and a bumper crop of strawberries year after year. Could also be used for planting bizzy-lizzies or pansies. Just imagine them cascading down!

Planting seed potatoes - you only need 8 per bed

Potatoes are thriving in the potato bed.

Sept 26, 2001
Potatoes are easy to
harvest - almost no digging required.

Each raised bed is 25cm high and as the product is modular, it is possible to increase the height by adding another unit on top of the existing bed. Dimensions L97.5cm W 97.5cm D 25cm

Each kit consists of four 1 metre panels and corner pins.
Raised beds drain well, warm earlier and are ideal for gardeners with otherwise poor soil or limited space. Less able bodied gardeners will also find this product well suited to their needs.

Simple Assembly
Our raised beds assemble in minutes and take up just one square metre of space.
Easy Harvesting
No need for digging! Just pullout the corner pins and the crop tumbles out. The raised bed panels flat pack for tidy storage.
Bigger Crops
In tests, it is possible to raise up to 24kg (53Ibs) of potatoes from just one raised bed. That's better than conventional 'hilling' with just a fraction of the work.
Earlier Crops
As the soil in our raised beds warms quicker - thanks in part to the heat absorbing black panels - plants develop quicker and crops are ready earlier.
