Advantages: Geberally cleaner vegetables, Not alot of space used, Just pick what you want and leave the rest to grow

Disadvantages: Limited on how much you can grow

This idea came from my neighbour and I thought that it was so good that I would share it with you all.
Have you ever wanted to grow your own vegetables but not had the space or the inclination to do all of the preparatory work?
Well this year my next door neighbour gave me some seed potatoes with the instructions to grow them in the old dustbin lurking at the botton of my garden.
I did as instructed in a mixture of 50:50 multi putpose and peat, and with regular watering they started to grow within a week.
After a few months my potatoes were ready to pick. Yes I did say pick because the beauty of growing vegetables this way is that when you need some, you just put your hand into the bin and pick what you require and leave the rest to carry on growing.
I am so pleased with the results that I now plan on buying a few more bins and and planting parsnips, carrots, swede and maybe brussel sprouts ready for christmas.
