Re: Growing potted vegetables
How shallow is it, Tbaleno?
I've grown Romaine Lettuce in a 6-8" deep pot and it was perfect. At least 4" in width is preferable. Remember the container size guide...
~ 4" (10cm) Lettuce, Radish, Beetroot, Chives, Shallots.
~ 6" (15cm) Kohlrabi, Baby Carrots, Turnips, Chinese Cabbage, Spinach, Silverbeet, Endive, Sorrel.
~ 8" (20cm) Beans, Cabbage, Peppers, Cucumbers, Zucchini, Celery, Peas.
~ 10" (25cm) Broccoli, Cauliflower, deep rooted Carrots, Tomatoes.
