Allotments 4 All

Hi - I need some advice please! Very new "lottie" person!
I have bought first earlies, late maincrop & salad  seed potatoes with the intention that they would harvest at different times of the year.  I understand how to chit them..my dilema is, when do I plant them?
First earlies as soon as risk of frost has passed but what about the others?  At the same time?  Do they just grow slower?
Also, I havent been able to get hold of any rotted manure for the potatoe bed, will organic fertiliser and a good dose of the wonderful compost I inherited on the plot do the same job?
Thanks in anticipation for your help - I LOVE THIS SITE!!

you inherited wonderful compost, I'm green with envy..it's better than anything..best of all, you can use it everywhere..welcome, new lottie person..loads of advice on here, friendly people and seed swaps, brill  ;D

potatoes, we plant very early ones end of feb with cover..the rest between march and beginning of april, depending on the weather..also depends where you live, up north it's a bit later than down south so, over to everyone else  :)

Trying a row of earlies under cloches is well worth a go. End of Feb, Early March would be a good time.
