Title: feeding
Post by: cambourne7 on June 13, 2019, 10:17:52

Stupid question of the day :)

Do i need to give the potatoes a feed? there in pots with a good amount of pellet feet at bottom when they started about only been given them water but with this rain am thinking that the rain might be washing away nutrients and therefore a feed
might be needed.

Be guided by the colour of the foliage, should be even and a 'moderate' *green. Ensure not waterlogged, ie put pots on 'feet', or a bed of gravel or woodchip.
*Search' RAL6018' ,on Google for typical shade

Is there any point in feeding anything outdoors until this wet weather eases?
