Growing brussels sprouts in containers
 

Hello,

Has anyone here tried growing brussels sprouts in containers? They look like
they might be good candidates for it, but I was wondering if anyone had
tried it or could advise me.

Any advice or comments much appreciated

Regards,

I don't know, somebody will disprove me, but they need such firm soil to
make tight sprouts that I wouldn't think it was a good idea

Sprouts were one of the few vegetables which we found impractical to
manage successfully on raised beds because of their size and shape.
There would be no horticultural problem with growing them in containers,
but they may be difficult to keep stable when they are in full crop. If
dwarf varieties of sprouts are on offer, they would do better in
containers than full sized ones.
