Hi all - I havent posted for a while but have been busy planning and digging and keeping up to date with the site!
Today I have given some wilko's potato bags (45cm x 35cm holds approx 40 l compost) and I am sure I have too many seed potatoes for the lottie so can someone please tell me how many I should put in each bag?
Thanks Rainbow

 The chap who owns the local nursery told me last year when i asked that he put 5 in a bag, so i did the same  fine, but keep them moist he told me.

David has been checking into this for us this year... he has decided to only put 3 potatoes in a bag and water like mad!
