Hi has anyone succesfully grown these in pots?
If so what size of pot is needed?
Is there any special treatment required for this way of growing?
Thanks  ;D

Yup

Last year I ran out of room and got a great big pot that had had a tree in it, filled it up with well rotted manure and plonked the courgette plant in it.

It was doing wonderfully well until a car ran into the allotment in August and smashed it to pieces.

You can grow both on a compost heap if you need to.

If you are using a big pot then put it where you need it before filling it up because once it is full you wont shift it.

Im guessing my pots arent big enough then as I can easily move them about when full....will go on a search for much bigger pots today ;D

Wow what a cool idea Tim  ;D
I will try this with the next lot Im planting out (yellow variety).
My large black pots are probably the same size as the half a grow bag so will leave my original plants alone for now & see how they progress.
