Topic: Another potato question

[springbok]

I am growing my spuds in huge huge bags and they are all poking through.

I know i have to keep adding compost and then roll the bag up.

They all poking through now, do i cover all the leaves with compost?

Just a little confused what I actually cover with compost.

Can anyone please advise :)thanks

The usual ploy is to grow to 4" & then cover all but 1" - & repeat.

thank you tim :D

If they are outside SBG I would cover the lot in case of frosts.  ;D ;D ;D

I would prefer to use a bit of fleece.

Keep covering the haulms while you can roll up the bags no more.

Once they are rolled right up and the haulms show through again,you can then cover them with fleece if need be like Tim suggests.

Thanks for all the advice, I actually  have all 3 bags covered in fleece all the time in case we have a frost :D
