A question about : rocket in pots?

hi all
Quick Question
I know tihs is late in the season, but Ive got some seeds mixed salad leaves collection (coriander, corn salad, mizuna, spinach medinia, rocket & mustanrd red giant ) in a combo pack from wilkos

Can I plant in pots? ONly my soil is rubbish ( took most of the hardcore out) but its dusty and without nutrients, pretty much everything is dying depsite fertilising & turning in some compost

Best answers:

  • I recently planted some in one of those black plastic tub things that you buy baby potatoes in and they are growing like crazy - as long as you have about 1.5 - 2 inches of soil underneath they will probaby be fine!

  • I have mixed salad leaves and rocket growing in both pots and also in a grow bag. If you sow a few seeds at 2 week intervals in no time you will have salad leaves and be able to cut and come again IYKWIM.
  • thanks a lot, will get some going now then!!
    Cheers!!
  • Excellent, was wondering this as wanted to grow my own leaves and I don't have a garden!!! Must get some seeds!
  • I have been picking mine for a couple of weeks - have them in an unheated greenhouse and what a saving from the bags you buy in the supermarkets. I keep sowing them for continutiy - pick some and leave the rest - they will regrow
