heres another wee pic of the plot, peas and potatoes.
I haven't even planted or sown mine yet!! ::)
Might get them in next week!
A thought struck me when I saw your growbags of another way to use them and it is this;
Why not grow them as you are doing your potatoes (same family) i.e. in bucket shaped containers!
To do this; before opening the grow bag hold it with both hands at the middle of the bag and let an equal amount of compost trickle to either side of the fold then cut the bag in half.
This effectively makes a bucket shape so all you have to do then is cut a few holes in the bottom (end of bag) roll down the surplus plastic and this stiffens the rim of the bag. Then plant your plants as you have done.
A few advantages of doing it this way is;
The bags take up less space so you could have probably got 5-6 plants in the same space.
The plants have a deeper root run.
If you find you uncover the top roots (the feeding roots) when watering, you can unfurl the rim and add a bit more compost. This is similar to earthing up potatoes so you get an bigger root system leading to better plants leading to a better crop.
As I said it is just a thought, a bit late in the day for you, now that you have planted out, but it is food for thought for next year, or for those people reading this who have not yet got around to planting theirs yet!
