I want to grow potatoes on my roof terrace. Should I get one of those trendy grow sack type things that are being advertised for twenty quid or so? Or is there a better (cheaper!) way of doing it? Thanks!

Windowsills

I reckon they are ace.' >>> We agree. But we've found that you have to be careful - they can really heat up on a windowsill and cook your seedlings. So we take off the lid every now then, to make sure we do not build up excessive humidity -City Leaf
