Last year i had a poly greenhouse, but this year i have a 6' x 4' giant cloche,
much better for all the plants to get optimum light especially the dreadful Summer here in England this year.
The VFTs i planted in an oblong (6inch depth) deep compost mixing trough, made my own multiple drainage holes and put it in a tray that was just the right size for it,
and finished it off with a light surface layer of silica sand, to attempt to create a VFT bog.
Next year the pitchers im going to try growing outside in a long trough in front of the cloche.
I recently came across a 9inch depth trough with the same dimensions as the 6inch one, which i shall use next year.
