Water well pots are a good idea in Melbs in general, they will serve you well.
For fertiliser, the key is little to no nitrogen, otherwise it just plows all the efforts into the floofy green top. Look for one marked 0-10-10 or 5-15-15 (Those numbers are N-P-K ratios)
Thanks, I’ll try and look at the labels. I’m a bit disappointed with the tiny pots and shallow saucers attached to the bottom… those will have to be the cat grass pots.
I’m waiting for energy to sterilise the potting mix and do everything
Bunnings has troughs ‘water saver’ that are basically just very small wicking beds. Bigger reservoir on those, much better for carrots. Bigger footprint though

I actually have some waterproof trays for plants but they have been used as litterboxes…
