No matter the size of your garden, we’ll show you how to produce a bountiful parsnip crop in containers all season long.
The Best Container Size for Parsnips
The first thing to consider when growing parsnips in a container is what kind of pot you’re going to use.
Parsnips have a fairly small root system, so just about any ole container you have lying around will do.
But if you’re looking to get technical, a good rule of thumb is to aim for a container that is roughly 288 cubic inches (4,719 cubic centimetres) in size.
Depending on the size of the pot you’re using, you can also put multiple parsnip plants in one container.
Growing multiple parsnips in one pot is a great way to increase yield while working with limited space. It’s typically suggested to space parsnip plants 1 - 2 feet (30 - 60 centimetres) away from each other. But for most varieties, you can get away with packing parsnips in a little tighter than this.
