Hello,

Is there any reason why I shouldn't grow brussels sprouts in tubs or
troughs? How big a tub ?

I love sprouts but have never tried growing them. All advice welcome

Thanks

I would think not. Like all cabbage family plants they want access to
a deep well-fertilised run and also like to be stamped in really
firmly.

I wouldn't put sprouts in a tub or trough. They need qute deep and well
compacted soil. Why not try new potatoes in a tub? We've done this for
the past few years and it works brilliantly - and leave you with
excellent bulking soil for spreading on other beds (although some manure
will be necessary to bring up the fertility).
