Giant Potato Buckets

A best seller, will last for years.

Grow a bumper crop of potatoes - even on a patio!

Potato Buckets are the perfect size, shape and colour (absorbing the sun's heat) to quickly produce a really heavy crop.

Plant 3 tubers near the bottom and keep topping up the compost as they grow, then simply tip them out at the end of the season.

Great for growing runner beans too. Height 40cm (15¾"); diameter 40cm (15¾").
