The allotment Ive just taken over hadnt been worked in a couple of years, and when we dug it over we found tons of potatoes that had been left in the ground. Some had resprouted, but were pretty rotten when we pulled them up. Ive just planted my overground stuff in its place. I was told that I needed to alternate tats and do overground stuff this year in their place. Now Im worried I may have diseased soil!SSF Article wrote:Ensure that you do get all of the potatoes out when lifting them as you could end up leaving a nasty disease in your soil.
How can I tell if the soil is manky? I think we got all the tats out, but I cant be certain
