Monty Dons new way of growing potatoes.

[star]

Having raised beds at home....no lottie...I have tended to squash things in closer than I should. I pup my tatties in about 8 to 9 inches apart in all directions. Mulch with a good depth of well rotted manure and dont ridge, through the season I beg grass cuttings from my neighbours to keep mulching until I cant see the ground because of foliage.

I get some good spuds too

I have used a similar method to grow my potatoes for several years. Instead of mulching, I plant through ground fabric with a large dibber, and plant along the row about 22.5 cm apart with the rows about 45 cm apart. Crops are probably slightly smaller but no weeding!!
