Hello, I’m thinking of trying pallet collars for growing peppers this summer. A single collar is 20cm (8 inches) in height, do you think that’s deep enough?

    A deeper bed should allow more plants in the same square footage. They would compete for root space since there’s less volume.

    So maybe they could only support 2 plants vs 4 type of thing.

    One trick I’ve seen is to use some cloth bags on top of the dirt, gives more height and the roots will grow through the bottom into the bed.
