Designer Imposter Bags

For most people, nothing beats the taste and satisfaction of their own garden crops. In the past, many gardeners have been put off growing their own potatoes because of the space - and the heavy work - involved. Nowadays, a bag of multi-purpose compost, a few seed potatoes and a barrel or bag are all you need to enjoy a crop of delicious home grown potatoes at any time of year from even the smallest garden with very little work. With a bit of ingenuity you can even have your own new potatoes at Christmas.

Choosing a Container

There are a number of purpose designed potato bags or barrels on the market, some simple and functional like those from Haxnicks while others have access flaps or doors for easy harvesting. There are also ornamental models like the Victorian Potato Tub from companies like Primrose London, and many garden centres, if you want something that will look smart on the patio.
