I've used old flower buckets for the last 3 years they wok well for me ar regards support I use canes in the bucket and wired to a heavier cross wire at the top again works fine . Really it's what works best for you try a couple of ideas a see which is best

I am going to make some sort of timber frame support that can be easily dismantled and stored in the garage when not in use. It has to be free standing as SWMBO has forbidden me to drill holes in the side of the house, I will also have to paint them and make them look nice as SWMBO says she doesn't want the house looking like an allotment. :roll:

I could double up, I think that would give me enuff room for about 8 plants?
Surely that's enough for 2 pps? (Kidz wont eat em!!) :roll:

Eight plants should be more than enough for two to say the least, they just look thin in the picture for tom roots.

D'ya mean the width (12") or the thickness of the timber (1")?? :?

Looks smallish in the picture I have no way of knowing it's size , 1 foot sounds wide enough.
