I always get "Nicola" potatoes for autumn planting from DT Brown, so

Where do you grow them? Polytunnel?

I have raised beds. I plant them in the beds, as they grow pile grass
on top, just as I do now. Then before the first frosts cover with
enviromesh, dig Christmas day.


By autumn you mean September?

Do you plant in another raised bed or follow on from another potato
planting?

Sounds like a really good idea, How many do you plant as presumably the
crop will be smaller?
