Potato Planter - Pack of 3

Typically, you can plant 2-3 seed potatoes per 40-litre planter, depending on their size and variety. Ensure they are not overcrowded.

A good quality, peat-free potting compost is recommended. Ensure it has good drainage properties.

While best suited for outdoor use to benefit from sunlight and natural conditions, they can be used in conservatories or well-lit greenhouses.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The frequency will depend on weather conditions and the plant's growth stage.

You can start harvesting small 'new' potatoes when they reach a usable size, typically 6-8 weeks after planting. Maincrop potatoes will take longer.

Each pot requires approximately 40 litres of compost.

While designed specifically for potatoes, their depth and structure could potentially be suitable for other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips, though results may vary.

Ensure the planter is on a level surface and that the inner pot is correctly seated within the outer pot.

Check that the drainage holes are not blocked by compost or debris. Ensure the planter is not sitting in a tray that collects excess water.

This could indicate a nutrient deficiency or overwatering. Check soil moisture and consider adding a balanced liquid feed if necessary.

Gently wiggle the inner pot while holding the outer pot steady. Avoid pulling forcefully to prevent damage.
