About that head start here as well except our "bucket" is two stacked
255/55R18 Land Rover tyres. Plenty of space to mulch up, as only the
bottom tyre is filled with compost/last years tomato grow bag. Be
interesting to see what we get, if anything, as we planted a few sprouting
"baking potatoes" bought from the super market...


I have a 'thing' with using tyres. I'd happily grow flowers in them
but not food stuff. I feel it's wrong. But ... it does work and each
to its own thing ;o)

It's funny but I was thinking about baking potatoes. We eat rather a
lot of them here - kids find it easy (and satisfying) to cook when I'm
not here. I've never come across baking potatoes seeds. Has anyone?
I'll be tempted to have a go next year.
