craftyhunnypie Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I can't grow them in the garden because of the chooks. Can I grow them in pots, tubs, hanging baskets? I do have a veg patch away from the chooks, but it's full now. What's the best way to grow them? Could I use pop bottles as cloches?

helenarees Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hello, In the past I've grown them on my kitchen windowsill in margerine tubs (and compost) and just cut off the leaves as I needed them. They last quite a while like that and you just have to keep planting seeds weekly. Helena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You can sow them in hanging baskets and troughs no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Do you need drain holes & pebbles in the bottom of the margarine tubs? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenarees Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hello, I just stabbed the margerine tub a couple of times with 1 blade of a kitchen scissors (need to do it quite carefully otherwise could split it) and use the lid (name side up) as a drainage saucer.
