Size isn't everything!

Think I will use these mushroom trays. They're a bit small and a bit deeper than the blue ones, but I have more of these. I only have one blue tray. That ones already got a full time job

I have a couple of those too - one has Chinese artichokes and the other Oca that I'm starting to grow this year.

I got mine for free at another well known supermarket chain.
The pic is of chard, but i also use them for strawberries, radish, turnip, beetroot, any fast cut and come again salad, spring onions etc.
I found it was easier to line them with empty compost bags rather than cardboard, just poked a few holes for drainage and reuse them year upon year.

It always seems a great idea but by definition has to be small scale and small scale does not produce lots of food.

Does the square foot gardening thread still exist? Always came across that people intended to feed a family of 4 for a year from 1 square foot.

A fun and novel idea maybe but hardly realistic or practical.

My large pots are about a square foot and if I can be bothered I grow 3 spuds in one - Anya or PFA variety.

Small is fine but what is small? A pot of basil and a pot of chives, that is small and maybe realistic. Just I expect the idea to become unrealistic pretty fast.

Small is better than None at all.

The SFG thread is still there but I've never tried it properly. Don't think it would work for me as its too organised.

I’ll blame VC for making me think about ‘small’ and ‘space’.
I’ve started collecting 4 pint milk bottles to cut into various sizes, watering can, labels etc. I’m going to have a go at 3 foot round table growing.
Salad stuff, carrots, beets etc should be possible. Even the labels can be used to restrict the light from roots.
Wish me luck.

I love that long table and it's location to your greenhouse. I maybe stealing that idea for a future veggie garden layout .
Those trays are doing great. As soon as it stops hissing down I'll go find mine and join you.

It’s not what you’ve got it’s the way you use it or so I’ve been told.
