Growing Veg in Old Baths

Womble1 · « **on:** April 18, 2009, 23:26 »

Hi all,
Ive just about given up all hope of ever growing anything direct into the soil on my plot owing to the plot being well infested with Jap Knotweed

Ive been toying with the idea of growing everthing in old baths any downsides to this

I can't see any, Womble....except your plot may look a bit like a bathroom showroom

Almost anything can grow in pots/containers of all kinds, and baths are roomy, deep and would make excellent containers I reckon.

But have you looked into the "no dig" method? You could try that and a bath or two this season? Also potatoes in compost bags, carrots/parsnips/onions in buckets, lettuces in troughs...the list is endless

The only thing I found growing stuff in a bath make sure you have enough drainage holes after a wet period thyre is no where for the rain to go and the amount we have here sometimes you will need drainage holes.

I use some containers/pots on my plot but it does cost a lot in soil/compost/stuff to fill them.
