Review: Pot Gang Subscription For Growing Your Own Food
I signed up to Pot Gang this month because I want to start growing some of our food...not in a dramatic “we’re now off-grid eco-warriors” way, but in a slow, sensible, realistic way that actually fits family life.
The goal is to gradually supplement what we eat with home-grown bits and pieces, build skills over time, and not overwhelm myself in the process, which, frankly, goes against most of my ADHD tendencies. When I want to try something new, I go ALL IN!
What appealed to me about Pot Gang was the monthly rhythm. One box, everything included, clear instructions. Small scale. No doom-scrolling seed catalogues or half-remembered YouTube advice and trying to figure out what to plant and when. I liked the idea of learning steadily, planting little and often, and letting progress build naturally instead of going all-in and burning out by week three.
So far, I’m really impressed. Everything I’ve planted is growing as it should (a minor miracle). At the moment I’ve got garlic, shallots, peas, rosemary, orange peppers and chocolate chillis on the go. I’ve also bought their Seed Sauna and portable greenhouse, both of which are good quality and very reasonably priced. Setup was genuinely easy, and each plant comes with its own care sheet so I don’t have to keep everything in my head - a big win for me.
The pots and saucers included in the subscription are sturdy and well thought-out, and the greenhouse feels like something that’ll actually last more than one season. Pricing feels fair too: around £27.36 per month with pots and saucers, or £22.99 without, and you get three plants every month. You can also switch to seeds-only later once you’ve built up enough pots, which feels sensible and appeals to anyone who wants to avoid unnecessary waste.
I also really like the branding - it’s cute without being twee. You get a little plant passport and stickers to track what you’re growing, which sounds silly but is oddly motivating. There’s access to one-to-one support via WhatsApp and a Facebook group as well, which I haven’t needed yet, but it’s reassuring to know help is there if something inevitably goes floppy!
The only minor downside I’ve found is that you may need extra compost once seedlings are ready to move into bigger pots. Not a big issue, just something to be aware of rather than a flaw.
Overall, Pot Gang feels like a genuinely accessible way to start growing food - especially if you want to see real progress very quickly. It's been really fun to share with the kids too. We're checking on our seed babies every day to keep them healthy and it has started some great conversation about food, the environment and the importance of doing our bit for nature.
