Snipped for Sacha ;-)

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.


Very considerate of you, Bill. ;-) Funnily enough, I was just thinking
that the other day when I was peeling some potatoes which had started to
chit. I wondered in a fleeting, passing thought, if I'd get potatoes from
them. Now I know I could, though I think we'll probably stick with
International Kidney.

Not my writing Sacha but "Moonraker" a bit confusing in the relpy I think.
