"Disaster"?


worse yet, dug over the 4th & last tyre stack. 5 tryes high, 2 small
potatos
smaller than your thumb nail. 2!!!!

I could have simply eaten the seed spuds I used in each tyre stack & had
better results than using tyres.

I conclude growing spuds in tyres is a waste of time. From now on, in the
ground.

Good job I don't have to live on what I grow. Hope my crop of sweet
potatos
is better.

So what causes the problems? Is it watering?


haven't a clue. Can't really be bothered with the idea anymore either. I
have gotten good results using earth whereas those I know who ahve used
tyres, me included, nothing but disaster.
