A bit OT, but in days of old, when money was more than tight, my
Grandfather would dig a trench, put a layer of compost in then place
spud peelings in, covering them each day. He did not get a good crop,
but a satisfactory one though. Gardening on a budget in extremis I guess.

them for anything else.

Oh yes - for drainage of course:-)
