Emptied the baby bath/strawberry planter because, the plastic had cracked. I guess they're not meant to be left outdoors for a few years. 
I put the compost in a 30ltr pot, having first lined the bottom of the pot with some wool insulation for water retention. This is another thing I've realised recently, that its better to put the insulation inside the pot, than to sit the pot on it. Sounds obvious, I know, but I'm a slow learner.
I planted the Mashua plant in the pot and gave it some supports to scramble up. It'll stay on the patio with the Oca pot until its time to harvest them in winter - not that I'm expecting much this year.
My new plan means that all roots will be grown in big pots to make harvesting easier.
Next task was to pull up more Montbretia - this time from the rockery. I have this idea of putting some of the big pots on the rockery as its close to the waterbutts.
