as two shed's says they grow pritty big, i think your 4 tiered greenhouse is too small but this would be ok - Wilko Greenhouse Tomato | Mini Greenhouses | | Mini Greenhouse & Propagation from Wilkinson Plus

If the 4 tiered mini greenhouse is anything like mine, you can remove the shelves and put your plants at whatever you level you like. I usually remove the top shelf of mine for more head room (for the plants, not me).

I grew baby sweetcorn in a deep container last year with a layer of stones in the bottom to help balance, they were successful, but I didnt get an awful lot due to only having four plants in the container, but still it worked well and were not in my way so I think its worth having a go at, I'll probably do it again.

that's it a good news.. so i'll keep an eye on every pot and make sure that they don't dry out...anyway can you tell me the size of your container ( sorry but i don't how big that kerbside are\0 my are 30cm by 30 cm and tall 28cm. thanks a lot

Hi, I just measured and the containers are about 34cm depth x 50cm length x 34cm width. I had 8 plants in each container which grew to around 6ft I think.

that is the same that i bought from b&m.. i upload the picture so you can see..
ps the first one i bought i forgot to secure to the fence and after a strong wind (70mph that what the news said) it blew away with all the pot inside that's why the zip is broken... now i secured them properly to the fence...

Hi,
There was no danger of the container tipping with the weight of soil it held, however the plants themselves (being so tall) would have fallen over if they were not supported.

I did this by putting a loop of string around the group of plants in each pot and tying it to the fence behind.

I read that it is best to arrange corn plants in blocks (rather than rows) so that they have a greater chance of pollination so I just put my two tubs side by side so effectively I had 4 rows of 4.

Cazp I think I will do the same tying them to the fence. Thanks for the tips
