Folks, those of you waiting for Oakland Gardens to get the 30 litre containers back in stock for the deal, They have now had an order that is still available 10 containers delivered for £33 use code simplify33 at checkout. www.oaklandgardens.co.uk/heavy-duty-containers--30---130-litre-35881-p.asp?fbclid=IwAR3laGTzMFGuXxpBPIq5MF4DWoRhKHEjn6HOChejL6Ppsr3Xq9wd1uhgZ0g

Just harvested my first ever container grown potatoes - 30th May 2022 - Jazzy and 1st June Charlottes. I am very pleased with the results of 70 day 2nd earlies - just over two pounds of Jazzy and all of which are all that ideal baby new potato size. The Charlottes again 72 days but just over two and a half pounds but about 6 quite large spuds which will end up being roasties while the rest varied from egg size downwards but only a very few real tiddlers of no use. The main thing is they are perfect while my ground grown potatoes last year suffered badly from wire worm so very happy with results and a big thankyou for all your tutorials and advice as I can vouch from results it is, in my mind the way to go just as you have advocated. Thanks again John NT

@malcomesparrow9889 2 года назад

Hello Tony like you’re videos as they’re always informative. I like the design of the new pots but I think a lot of the problems with drainage is down to the perched water table when the pots are in the ground there is a lot of contact with the soil which acts like a wick allowing gravity to overcome capillary action and will work in reverse when the pots get dry. But on a hard standing you don’t have that luxury so what I’ve done is cut some capillary mat into strips and put them in so they come out of The drain holes when I’m potting up or you can just poke them in the holes if you’ve already filled the pots. the amount of extra water it gets rid of is quite remarkable and seems to deal with the anaerobic layer which I used to get. Keep the video’s coming always enjoy them

@simplifygardening 2 года назад

Yes i agree and mine wont be on a hard standing but it was mentioned for those who wish to free up growing space

Another great video Tony, I had 10 of these containers with the new bottoms from Oakland delivered yesterday, pity I did not know of your code when I ordered, as it was my first order had no idea they were new bottoms. Only have a very small garden and have made a concrete base area which used to house a 3 seater swing seat into a container grown veg plot, large enough to hold 10 of these containers, charlottes are chitting away, this will be my first attempt at container grown gardening. Find your videos very informative.

Nice one Tony and nicely explained. I think all my buckets have those feet but not so many holes as these new ones you have, I drill my own holes and drill out the existing holes to allow roots through.

This will be my first time growing Potatoes in containers and my second time growing potatoes in my lifetime. Last year I got a small crop of Red Norlands. Set them out to dry and when I returned, my puppies were finishing off the last two. Who knew? I’m excited to grow them in containers. We don’t have the ones you have, but I found some cow mineral tubs. They’re a bit larger without handles, but I drilled several 3/4” holes along the sides and 8 - 1/2” holes in the bottom. Should work fine. They’re food grade and black.

It's about a cup altogether in each bucket for the fertilizer. In the US, I mix blood meal, potash from the woodstove, and bone meal(this year I've bought azomite, which is from an ancient sea in Utah).

I've invested. more than I want to admit, into pots for Potatoes and squash. But I've got them, so there's that. 30 for potatoes and 15 for squash. The squash pots are 15 gallons

The challenge for me will be getting enough nutrient rich loose soil material to fill several of those containers. Garden soul will harder in containers. I have tried it. It will require mostly compost and potting soil. Which will require a lot of work and money.

Glad they have produced pots with huge drainage holes. Not only is it great for drainage but is so much better for the roots to grow into the soil for us that plant them on a soil bed. Sithee Later Dan 🤭

hi, useful as usual. I remember that you said in a previous video that peat free wasn't very good! I'll be watching for the results! Great bins BTW.

@simplifygardening 2 года назад

Hi Nigel. Im still trying to find good peat free, The two I have used today and yesterday seem to be great quality but the results are what matter

@nigel4321 2 года назад

@@simplifygardening hi, I can't believe it! I've just checked my new unopened buckets and they are the new ones! so I'm on the same mission as you as to results.I'm using 'jack's magic in my pots! fingers crossed. do I plant now? (in surrey)

After miserable performance in my no-dig bed (that everything else seems to like) I've followed your lead Tony and got some tubs practically identical to yours - I didn't know about the sponsored store offer, sorry! - and sowed 8x Charlotte a week ago. I've used half Westland New Horizons and half old garden soil (from bags in the garage), loosely mixed with a double helping of fish blood and bone. I'm hoping the clay soil will impart some minerals, it sure as hell hasn't got anything else to offer. Looking at doing another two tubs of maincrops this or next weekend. Fingers crossed!

Tom I think you will see a marked improvement in containers

Good afternoon Tony, hope you are keeping well, I've just purchased 2x bags of Levington compost from Tesco £4 each or 2 for £6. Talk about false economy, both bags were full of twigs, stones and small bits of black bin liner.Thanks for your fantastic helpful Vlogs👍😁

@cherylhowker1792 2 года назад

I had this with some I got from Aldi,£4 for 40 L thought that's good price..... It's full of bark...hasn't been left long enough to break down.... I've got 160L and no idea what to do with it. I have put some in with some fruit bushes I've had to move so put 1/3 in the bottom...which will hopefully still break down. Bearing in mind I got some with John inns £5 for 50L so the same money equivalent but hell it's 1000x better.... To the point I got a couple of bags to try and since I've brought another 16 bags as need lots,new starter this year and doing lots.

@michaelramsay8389 2 года назад

Thanks Tony, learnt about buckets from you last year. Putting it into practice this year. Also very interested on peat free experiment. As second year at gardening...I must confess that I bought some peat compost this year...due to fact it was much cheaper. Also making my own compost too... hopefully I too can get away from peat. Where can I buy your book?

It will be on Amazon and book shops when released
