SOMERSET gardeners who don’t have a vegetable plot are this year (2010) being offered a new eco-friendly re-usable planter so they can grow their own potatoes on their patios.
Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre at Monkton Heathfield near Taunton is stocking the Botanica potato ‘Let’s Grow...Spuds’ planter.
Norma Moore, General Manager of the award-winning garden centre, explained: “Nothing beats the taste of home-grown spuds, and this potato planter means you can enjoy them despite only having a small garden, patio or back yard.
“These planters are simple to use. They have a unique design, with two sections allowing easy access to the potatoes once they are ready to harvest. They are perfect for small gardens and patios and are supplied in a carry bag.”
The Botanica potato ‘Let’s Grow...Spuds’ planter is priced £7.99 for a pack of two bags.
To find out more, please visit Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre, which is located just off the A38 at Monkton Heathfield near Taunton, or call 01823 412381.
