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").

Pack of 3 buckets... take a look yourself, by clicking on the photo you will be taken to our trusted partner - don't worry it will open into a new window so you wont have to leave this page... happy spud growing!
