As wide as you can manage. I can not remember if the instructions said 1/2
sq mwetre or 1 sq metre each. AIUI they spread by runners, so you want
somespace for them to spread, but I have no idea of how far they run
before they corm. could be totally wrong there, but I'll guess we'll soon
know.

crikey, i thought they grew in a clump together like potatoes do... :-/

clearly i don't have anything suitable (yet) anyway.


i was just going to put the container in the shade under a tree near a
tap... or somehting like that. not forgetting netting, to keep the
sodding ducks off.

Lol, our problem is all the other stuff that germinated from the well
wetted soild,

this is a problem? :-)

tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, basil, etc. SWMBO wanted to try
and transplant them all, but I've suggested early cropping of te lettuce
and spinach (baby spinach leaves for salad?) and just weedt he rest so we
minimise soil disturbance for our first effort.

yes, baby spinach in your salad is where it's at!
thanks terry.
