Blight - cut out the haulms & burnt off. Two weeks later:
1. Unprotected, the soil was washed away by the very heavy rain & exposed the tubers. So - with hindsight, I might have covered with fleece??
OR
2. Of course, the b----y slugs had had a field day. And, since the crop was only a large barrow load, I might have done better to lift & use as needed for as long as they stayed usable??
Or - cover with mulch, which would prevent greening, and then be dug in as you lifted them.
Well, I did warn you to soak the bed with coffee - it does work.
Alright, alright!!
So how much coffee for a 50' run, what dilution & when?
Since we only use 'instant', we'd have to buy the real stuff?
Spuds are small this year due to lack of water!
