Seems expensive, but given my failure to produce anything from slips, I'm tempted to try them. What do you think? Would they still be reliant on a warm summer?(Sorry about the long link!)

If you have to add on postage (looks like £3.95) thats nearly £19 in total. You could go and buy quite a few sweet potatoes for that price.

I know I don't grow my own stuff primarily to save money but its worth thinking about.

I have raised some slips myself for the first time this year and they seem to be growing really slowly - but then again its hardly been a warm start to the growing season.
