I've never watered my pot apples regularly, but I suppose in the permanent irish rain it isn't really necessary

And no fertilizer at all, actually I grew al lot of other things in the same pot: sunflowers in each one, additionally peas, cauliflower and beans as well. But the soil there were planted in was from beside the feeding trough of cattle, so probably all the dung mixed with very poor soil might be ok for them.

Really ?  Why did you that ?  Lack of space or because they go well together ?

How big were the pots ?
It sounds an interesting idea please give more details.
