Some of the leaves on my potatoes are turning yellow, but are healthy. None as far as I can tell have dropped of and the actual plant looks really good apart form the yellowing. The variety is Pentland Javelin.

What is bizarre though is the Charlotte in the next row along are fine.

What fertiliser can I use then as I'm fully organic or at least my plot is? ;)

Our charlotte are very slow at coming up this year... very patchy rows at the moment. Urea is acceptable. :-\
