Certain purpose-made containers may given even better results for some crops. For example, a ‘Potato Barrel’ is just 33cm in diameter but has an 80 litre capacity, which is enough to provide a generous crop of potatoes. As well as potato barrels, spud tubs and strawberry towers, grow-bags are also popular particularly when used in conjunction with purpose made re-usable grow pots which help to water and feed as well as providing additional compost.
