Last year’s AutoPot chilli trials at Brill View Farm in Oxfordshire, UK, saw some huge harvests.
Following several delays in the growing schedule throughout the summer, due to the heavy rainfall and below-average temperatures, 1000 chillies went into the main greenhouse area in the easy2grow extension kits.
Although the weather conditions did not improve, the quantities produced were impressive – we harvested over 1800kg of chillies – which was a great return bearing in mind the measures put in place to combat the unfortunate weather conditions.
To see exclusive narrated footage of the chilli trial from start to finish, please visit www.autopot.co.uk and follow the latest news tab to Live AutoPot Trials, which also features pepper trials held at Valley Grown Nurseries in Hertfordshire, UK.
AutoPot will be continuing the trials at Brill View Nurseries this year with chillies, aubergines and many other plants, so fingers crossed for an improved return this season, with a little bit of help from the British summer, of course! Check back soon for further updates.
