Allotments 4 All

Just recieved a root from a very kind person on here, to stop it taking over my small veggie plot, could i pot grow it in a deep pot? how deep would it need to be? many thanks for replies.

This is cheating because you could diy.
But you may be busy &, anyway, h/r is not a thing you are likely to get cross-opinions on?

Strangely, we have had ours in a 4'X4' patch for decades & it doesn't seem to want to spead.

Thanks yes i could diy, so im guilty, but i am very busy!!!!! so i hope thats a valid exuse!!!! thanks for the advice.

I grow mine in an old brick chimney, approx 2ftx2ft, 18in deep. Certainly OK to grow in a pot, although it needs a bit of watering.

It is slowly breaking the chimney - the roots are forcing their way into the mortar. So I would suggest a strong pot  ;)

yes, the rockery sounds a great place for this to grow, it can join the sage and the mint and live and grow til its hearts content!!!!!

Err - gunnerbee, how are you going to dig it up if you put it in the rockery? would think the pot/bin/chimney idea is better to be honest :)

A container sounds like the best idea, mine is in a large plastic bin with small drainage holes, set into the ground so it has similar moisture levels to the surroundings.

oh thanks that sounds a good idea, will do that.

Be careful. It grows like couch grass, Very hard to get rid of. Keep it in your container
