Somehow I've managed to lose my reply twice so I'm going to say "Bucket!" and try again another day.

Harry:
Oh 'Bucket' :) I know what you mean.
Yes. some of my best crops were grown in buckets of a mix of coir compost and topsoil. Amsterdam forcing carrots and peas, especially. Far easier to control weeds and moisture than having them straight in the ground. Ultimate no-dig.

Too busy fitting allotmenteering round the rain to drop by until now...

With the thoughts above in mind, I'm going to experiment with adding organic matter and fertilising as needed to try to get the stuff to go further - the carrot pipes and the tattie sacks take so bloomin' much!
