If you don’t have an allotment or any space in your garden to grow your own vegetables there is a viable option.

Certain types of vegetables can be grown extremely effectively in growbags or containers. It is however important to get as large a container as possible with lots of drain holes. The container should be preferably placed in a spot that is within easy reach that enjoys sunny periods throughout the day but is not in direct sunlight or shade.

If you only have a sunny spot, there are however certain types of specific plant that can be grown, like chillies, peppers or tomatoes (which can be grown really successfully in a growbag).

In a sunny/shady spot you can grow all types of veg like, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions, beetroot and garlic. You do however need to take into consideration the root formation of the type of veg you grow, because some veg need more room for their root systems than others.
