shooter69:Joel just noticed your Settanta is still with you!
It is. Off the market as I like it too much. Decided to spend my readies on the house instead, and the garden. My new nickname at work is Percy as I'm now boring people to death with my veg garden rather than cables.
Nothing wrong with that Joel
I'm giving myself the day off tomorroew (I'm self employed but still had to check with the boss... The missus...!) and will be getting my spuds, carrots and onions planted
Been looking forward to this!
Good man, all I will say is concentrate your space on expensive veg rather than spuds. I devoted a whole bed to potatoes last year and regretted it. Little reward for lots of effort.
Yeah; been there done that too! I've got some gorgeous Anya's ready chitted and now need to be planted; got some fantastic red potatoes from the South of France as well (relatives brought them back a few weeks back) so that's it for spuds
I may get some beetroots planted as well; weird looking seeds but will give them a bash! I'm doing all mine in 3 old plastic bins we had before the wheelie bins were made statutory! Ideal for spuds and root veg; nice and deep and when drillied in the bottom and some rubble in as drainage; superb
Plus NO slugs!!!
have seen people grow potatoes in old car tyres .... as the plant grows through the soil, they stack an additional tyre with soil ... seen up to 8 tyres stacked ontop of each other
not sure what your neighbours would say, but works very well and uses limited space
