Potato Barrel
I've just started a potato barrel.
It is open at the bottom and sitting on wire netting to filter out rats. I've started it with about 9" of compost then dotted spuds over that about 4" apart. These have been covered with about 3" more compost. The compost is from a large and old compost heap. The potatoes are ones from the kitchen cupboard that have started sprouting ( no rolling of eyes please!). I was proposing to build up the compost as the potatoes tops grew. What nutrients can I add to enhance the crop? I have wood ash from a wood burner, would that help if I mixed it with future additions of compost. mark |
