Want your own allotment but worried you don't have the space for a vegetable plot? Well, we're here to tell you that you do (most likely, anyway). Container planting is the accessible way to grow your own edible garden, and it can be far more substantial than strawberries, salad leaves, and the odd herb, too. Even in the smallest bit of outdoor space, you can easily grow a staple ingredient like potatoes.
Contrary to belief, you don't need a sprawling backyard to grow spuds. With the right pot, sufficient soil, and enough hours of sunlight, you'll be on your way to growing the most versatile vegetable known to man, even if you only have a small patio or balcony to work with. But before you can rustle up your roasties or serve up your own homegrown french fries, there are a few insider tricks you'll want to be aware of.
