Nothing smaller than 7lt. My biggest pot is 100lt. Compost is mixed with 25% perlite and a handful of chicken manure pellets. I have grown them in my tunnel raised bed in the past and they’ve done well. But noticeably slower than those in pots. due to location ( this will apply to you spec ) slow growing isn’t ideal. Because they take so long to mature/ ripen pods. Quicker is better. So I never top / prune them in anyway either. This also slows growth. And if you give them the time, pot space and feed them well they will produce very nicely. Without the need for hacking lumps off them to make them bush out.
