Potatoes in pots

[Grandpadragon]

I put one spud in a 10 litre pot

Me too Shirl, but I think maybe 15l would be better but as its 10L I got they can lump it or leave it.

I grow 'em on the lottie but a mate of mine has got some square thick plastic bags that seem to work really well. He puts two in each.

Hello Leeder, and welcome to the Vine. Yes, it is B&Q buckets. I used them last year and got 3-4 lbs of potatoes from Charlotte per bucket. 1 Rooster gave me 6.5 lbs of potatoes. I was pleased with that. I did grow some in bigger containers, but found the yield was proportionately less - ie - I didn't get twice as many potatoes from twice the size of containers and compost. I've decided to stick with the buckets. Good luck with yours.
