I prefer this method: (You could use bottomless buckets)

I use a similar method with rings made by stitching together (with wire) the sides of 2 x green 2L bottles (fizzy water - I reserve the clear equivalent for cloches).

I use the open space between them to grow strawberries - they can't climb the 'towers' and they keep the weeds down too.

Cheers.
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.

Planning permission granted despite my neighbours complaint and now its scheduled to be put up by fitter on friday 8th Jan :)

I have ordered these greenhouse grow beds from marshals http://www.marshalls-seeds.co.uk/greenhouse-gro-beds-x3-pid4289.html?gclid=CjwKEAiA2IO0BRDXmLndksSB0WgSJADNKqqoH-8ivUt1kMaX2tCbqYpwdHKp6ZXp19neHBvyWF56YhoC0ADw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds and once planted up i will cover them in weed membrane and plant through them. I have ordered 2 packs of 3 which i believe will still lave me space for other stuff :) And i can look at the bottomless bucket idea using 12" pipe cut to 1ft lengths :)

I think this will mean i don't need the pea gravel as i am going to hook them up to a drip feed system from a water butt.
