Potatoes

Although not strictly AP (don't know how to change the name of the blog) we got a large bed of potatoes online today. Peter Cundall no dig style. Animal manure and blood and bone onto the grass, newspaper and straw straight on top, potatoes on top of that and then layer the bed with straw (lots of), sprinkle blood and bone, more animal poo, then straw. Keep doing that until the pile is about 30cm high. Water in (straw will compact) and leave fo nature to do its thing. As the potatoes shoot, I will add a couple more layes of staw, poo and blood and bone. If all goes well, should havest well over 250 big potatoes (maybe 50 odd kgs). Pictures later!
