I am new to growing anything, though last year I grew some old potatoes I had in the cupboard. Grew them in a tub, but planted quite late. I did have some success and plan to grow a lot more this year. I have bought a lot of tubs, received my order of a variery of potatoes. These include Sarpo Mira, Maris Piper, King Edward and Desiree. The seed potatoes are chitting at present, ready for planting about St Patricks day. Any tips would be appreciated.
We got our 30l pots from the local Bobbies, confiscated from cannabis growers😄 Jonnyco15 are you going to add any fertiliser to compost in your tubs. Dan off the allotment diary videos uses blood and bone, he seems to get great results with his spuds🙂
Hi JohnnyI have just enlarged your photo to get a closer look at your soil and it is indeed very sandy.It is even finer than my soil.thanks a lot tg just when i had my mind made up another spanner in the works lol i am looking this year to expand then maybe ill go back to planting in the soil but at the mo just aint got the room I use a bulb planter to set my tubers rather than forming trenches and leave the soil flat afterwards.Then when the haulms are around 9"-12" tall I earth them up which is quite easy to do, so I guess it could be just as easy for you, or even easier for that matter.So there is another idea for you to think about!....Tg
