Are chilli's better in pots?
« on: May 26, 2013, 05:48 »
Ive got quite a few chilli plants that seem to be doing ok and are now in my tunnel, i have got 2 large deep raised beds in the tunnel along each side and was wondering if the chilli's are better staying in pots or would be best to plant them into the raised bed??

I have grown them equally well in the ground in my mini tunnel, as in pots so it is a matter of what is most convenient I would say

Either will do, but if one wanted to try and over winter some of them at home, pots would be the answer. I use roughly 10" pots. Ground grown in a tunnel can grow rather larger once they have a hold, and while I was reasonably pleased, they didn't necessarily give of a better harvest than the pot heads.
