Excellent service as always and item exactly as described
Had my first growing season using the pots and delighted with the results. Will be ordering more for next year. Perfect for a small garden as they take up very little room.
Product exactly as described on website. I'm looking forward to seeing how well potatoes grow in these pots. Delivery service from the Garden Shop is very impressive.
Prompt delivery and looks highly promising!
Does exactly what it says.. makes life simple
