Rhubarb forcer
« on: February 08, 2017, 22:55 »
What's everyone using ? I refuse to pay the silly money for one of those clay things  :ohmy:

I currently have an upturned pot around 18" deep over a crown but Im thinking it might not be tall (deep) enough. :unsure:

Black plastic bin with a brick on the top, so it doesn't blow away.

I thought that sort of thing would be a better height - mine have chicken related stuff in them though  :( but I do have a darlek not in use behind the shed which Id forgotten about  :D

and never the same crown twice or thrice running

They're probably going to be removed at the end of this year as they refuse to produce anything useful.  :mad: that and I've put them in the wrong place  :blush:

Reclaimed chimney pot with a tile on top.  Looks good too.

I used to use an upturned bin but I was in my local gardening centre a couple of months ago and spotted a group of women around a pallet, when I went over here was a pallet of forcers reduced to €20 euros each, I would have bought a few for friends as pressies but they were only allowing one per customer so I just bought one for myself😃  The pallet was emptied in 10 seconds flat😂😂.  I must say it looks very smart.
