Default Conservatory vine

The message
from Pam Moore contains these words:

Bob Flowerdew says he now advocates growing vines in big containers
and keeping them inside in summer and outside in winter. Yes that
way round. I forget the reasoning but have heard him say it more than
once on GQT. It is probably in one of his books somewhere.


The reasoning is that for most people, a vine can grow too big. My
response to this thinking is that knowing how to prune a vine should
take care of that aspect.

The overwintering outside is a good idea as it tends to kill off a lot
of pests and diseases.
