This Victorian style potato barrel in a decorative terracotta finish. Made from frost resistant polypropylene for long life. Approx. 60cm high by 43cm diameter. Easy to assemble. It is now possible to grow an amazing crop of delicious new potatoes on your patio or balcony. The secret lies in being able to "earth them up" 2ft (60cm) high, which is impractical in an open garden. Follow the instructions provided and you should be able to grow a bumper crop (or even two crops) in your first season. By planting the first crop early enough in February, you can grow a second crop for harvesting in the autumn. All you need is one giant bag of good general purpose compost, 5 seed potatoes and a little patience.
