Busy sorting out old pots and trays, I've decided to rework the old
compost with a little fresh and some fertilizer and use it for
potatoes in bags, so far I have around 300 litres, and more to come.


What fertiliser do you use, David? *I often reuse old compost as I

is rising above the level of those around!
I have to beware of vine weevil grubs but a few kettles of boiling
water deal with those.

I will just use potato fertilizer, thats what I use for the dahlias,
so I have plenty.

Potato fertiliser? I've never encountered it. Is it readily
available? What's the NPK?
