    About a foot deep should be ample, personally i would go for a trough type pot about 20-30" long and 12" wide, a couple of canes pushed in at each end and some netting strung across between them will support them as they grow.

    I plan to grow peas in pots next year and last weekend bought an old barrell, split in two, especially for this project :D

    And save the soil as the nodules on the pea roots fix nitrogen into it. Great for subsequent years of growing other stuff.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Just go to the local diy store and ask for a pot to pea in.:rotfl:

    But yes a large pot or tub, or and old vegetable oil can like you find at the back of Take-aways would do.
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.
