A pot a day keeps the gardener at play
Our own garden is n’t large by any means so ever since I started garden , container growing has been an essential part of the winner . I particularly enjoy grow in potbelly and appreciate the exciting potential that they afford to gardens of all shapes and size . From closer - to - the - backdoor growing in larger infinite , to vertical gardening opportunities when quad is at a premium , here are some of my favourite picks to facilitate you on your way .
Healthy strawberry mark
Made from 100 % reprocess charge plate ( and it is also 100 % recyclable too ) , ELHO have create a flowerpot that ticks all of the box when it comes to the perfect space for tasty habitation - grown fruit . Strawberries , although generally fairly wide-eyed to raise , can well be ruined by either a waterlogged pot , or by letting the fruit touch the flooring , but not with this novel design . It smartly allows for free drainage , while also boasting a water supply reservoir for the base to tap into , should they require it . If you enjoy this there are also others in the Basics range too , including a nifty tomato plantation owner and mountain for Irish potato . Seeelho.com , RRP £ 22.99 .
Innovative thinking
The Globee from Hayloft demonstrates that containers should n’t be muted and , in fact , this new plan is set to change how we might call back about exhibit our plants . The Globee is unequalled in how it works as it can remain firm alone as a solo crapper , with its plane bottom and rounded exterior , or you could conflate a series of them into a chain of planters with their innovative dangling system that you could freeze from a hook on a ceiling or wall .
Each unit is also supply with an inner pot that is the perfect size for a wide chain of houseplants and outdoor plants alike . Seehayloft.co.uk , available individually for £ 17 or as a circle of three for £ 44 .
Perfect for founder
If you ’re all new to container spring up and you ’d like the saint set to get you commence , then look no further than this two - planter stage set ( complete with easy compost ) from Richard Jackson .
Richard and his team have design these to be both fashionable and hard - wearing , to stand firm either indoor or terrace growing . Available in both an aqua and green , these large crapper have a ceramic effect without the headache of them cracking . The band also come with two coir , peat - free compost discs with add up nutrients , which means you ’ll be planting them up in no sentence at all . Seeqvcuk.com , RRP £ 66 for a set of two , with Easy Compost .
Classy raised beds
For something prominent and with interminable theory , a raised layer is fantastic for growing almost anything . This circular modular layer from Harrod Horticultural is manufactured from high - quality galvanised brand , which is then powder - coated in your choice of cream or light-green . The coating ensure that this give you a long - lasting weatherproof colour , while also looking the part in modern and traditional garden or allotments .
This has been carefully designed to allow you to combine it with other planters in the range to increase your potential produce distance and create really diverse shaped heighten beds of your own . Seeharrodhorticultural.com , available in two colours with an RRP £ 75
meter for terracotta ?
Finally , how about something that adds a real touch of socio-economic class to any terrace , course , or walkway ? The Elii Cretan Terracotta Planter from Tom ’s Yard is one of their most pop design and is handmade using traditional method and material .
The ignition process is done over three solar day , which means your planter is built to withstand some serious battering by the run wind , rain and cold and as such will do well either in your garden , or equally in a conservatory or indoor environment .
I ’ve get this very mountain , planted up with a smallPrunustree with some Saxifraga at its base of operations and the contrast between the colouring material of the flora and the terracotta is a match made in heaven .
