If you...

  • have a limited amount of space in your garden or a patio or balcony
  • are new to gardening
  • just want your fruit and veg ready to pick straight away

then Millbrook’s fantastic new range of potted fruit and veg is just the answer!
Nurtured without the use of pesticides at our very own nursery in Crowborough the new range comes in pots with prices starting from £2.99.  And when you buy from Millbrook you won’t have to add anything else to the pots as the soil they are planted in has all the nutrients and goodness the plants will need.

Some of our Growing Your Own range comes in pots which the plants can continue to grow in or they are ideal for transferring to containers. At Millbrook we stock a wide range of containers of all shapes, sizes and colours which will do just the job!  
Containers can be placed anywhere in the garden as long as they are not in the shade (tomatoes for example love to be grown against a warm wall).

Choose a fairly large container, place it in a sunny position and make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom. Place a layer of small stones over these to help with the drainage and fill the container with multi-purpose compost.

Beans, tomatoes and peppers are particularly suited to growing in bags - take a look at the new Humax range in store. Fruit and veg in containers need to be watered at least once a day and in dry, hot weather they may require more. Give a liquid feed such as Tomorite once a week as soon as the vegetables start to swell.
