oh, thankyou, I'll get back to you on that... I've not started preparing the space yet and it would be simpler to have it go straight in when it arrives. :)

Thanks, deleted it, we have rules about people who are just after free advertising

I have been digging through one of our raised beds which had potatoes in it last year. there were several potato plants in it but I needed the ground for something else so they got chucked to the next bed along... as I was going though, there were several decent sized spuds amongst it all so I put t...

We have plenty of hawthorn in our hedge and I have often wondered why people bothered inventing barbed wire when there were thorns like that available... Only problem with hawthorn is that I swear that it jumps at me, I can be walking along, minding my own business and all of a sudden OUCH a hawthor...

Green manure is a crop that you plant purely to dig back in again - mustard, rye and some bean crops can be used like this (a google search should bring up places that sell the seeds) The idea is that if you leave ground empty, the rain will wash away the nutrients and the weeds will take hold.

Part of our long established hedge was taken out to allow for a big digger to get access to our property.... only about 2 out of the 160 metres of hedge we have (Jees louise, I never thought about that before, no wonder we can never get it all cut) :roll: Anywhoos, I was reading somewhere about a 'f...

Not stupid questions at all Pete, sorry you feel that way, we all start somewhere... i daren't think what I was asking when I started out.... You will get several answers about this and the chances are none of them will be wrong, but there are so many ways of doing things just go along with what fee...

Ebay tends to be reasonable for packaging if you are buying any quantity... some times you can find recycled...

Nope, we'll leave it... interesting topic really..

We're the same here Mrs H... *sigh*

We haven't had much blue sky since April.... but at least the rain has slowed down a bit (if not actually stopped)

If you can post a pic that would be ideal... sounds like scab??? (found in my veg expert book :wink: ) there are lots of different diseases and problems that can affect potatoes, but, in my experience, many of them are only skin deep and your crop may well be fine. If it is scab, they will be fine, ...

You could pop in radish, lettuce, peas.... I think you should still have time
