Plants will grow in anything from pots to buckets, so long as there are drainage holes and the containers can hold sufficient growing medium. Growing organically encourages recycling – so get creative with tins, plastic sacks and wooden trays.

 

You don’t need to use chemical fertilisers to encourage growth – preparing and maintaining your growing medium, and using liquid plant feeds will help keep your veg and flowers blooming marvellous.

 

 

And don’t be afraid to mix your planting.

 

With vegetables, herbs and flowers combined your pot can be productive as well as beautiful. See this spring tub, where spring tulips have popped up between overwintered kale, cabbage and beetroot.
