OK here it is! If you want to grow potatoes in a tub - do you fill up the
tub with soil and then stick the potatoes right down the bottom, or do you
put in a wee amount, plant the potatoes and await their growth. If so,
how
do you add the extra soil to bring it up to the top? Do you just lob it
onto
the plants which are growing?

Btw the nasties can take a running jump g

You put the potatoes in a small amount of soil at the bottom of the tub
(cover them with soil, obviously) and when they poke up some foliage, put
some more soil on so the leaves are just poking through. Wait until it
grows a bit more and do it again. Continue doing that until the soil
reaches reaches the top of your tub.
Didn't laugh at you, did I?
