Title: A job well done (or a job done well)?
Post by: Kleftiwallah on July 08, 2023, 19:04

Good evening gardeners.
A job I have been putting off for ages... :)
any reason behind why I should use a deep pot rather than a 'regular depth'?

Cheers,  Tony.

Do I deduce, you’ve washed your used pots and wondering whether you should keep the tall ones? If so what could you use them for?
If I’ve hit the nail on the head to your cryptic enquiry, I keep them for cuttings of my fig tree, or you could grow chilli’s,peppers,aubergines in them maybe

Hello snowdrops,
do the plants you mention have particularly long tap roots?
Cheers,  Tony.

Not that I’m aware Tony,but a good plant could fill a largish pot, & as for fig cuttings a longer pot enables more roots to grow from the cuttings

We use the taller pots to go behind the shorter ones in a display...

I pop a much smaller pot upside down inside, (to save compost), fill up the rest with compost/spoil, and plant bedding plants as normal!
