The varities in the SWC i am mentioning above are Black Russian and Green Zebra.
(Both of which are 1/3 to twice as big as their normal container cousins)

I also made another SWC and planted a Mellow Yellow in it 2 weeks ago, its only 1 foot tall at present.

Yes, i have been having trouble finding perlite in my local nursery's etc.... shame, but i will get some when i find it.

The last SWC i did (for the Mellow Yellow), i also added some Seaweed in a ring half way up the Potting Mix layer.

I am just about to plant out 2 more SWC with a Sweet Bite and perhaps a Gold Nugget.... Then i'll have to make some more SWC's as i also want to plant some current seedlings i have in them.

Basically this year i am trying every Variety in both a SWC and normal container to compare....

I am now so happy with the SWC i am considering planting some of my Peppers in one.
Or even planting 2 Cherry Style Tomatoes (Yellow and a Red) in the one SWC for a bit of fun and colour.
