Default Spuds....Summat for nowt

Came home after along weekend away celebrating SWMBO birthday and thought
about a barbecue 'cos it was a sunny day and a nice end to the weekend.

Looking at the large plastic pot planter that had 2 old (Chitted in the
fridge by accident) Maris Piper spuds chucked in it around late March,
frequently earthed up, and watered, I dug in......

18" square pot, 2 "free" plants, and water, produced 2.2kg of the *most*
gorgeous tasting spuds for the barbecue.

Washed, halved and boiled with a dob of butter on the
top...Maaaaaaaaaaaarvelous!

Now looking forward to harvesting the remaining planted Golden Wonder ones
that are coming along nicely.

Anyone any tips for fertilising etc of spuds?
