Planted out most of the free spuds I received for 6 courgette seedlings.
I'm trying to avoid the usual slug problems by planting them in 30 ltr pots but they take a lot of compost and I'm not prepared to buy fresh compost for spuds. It would be cheaper to buy the spuds from the shop. I've half-filled the pots with Mr Greedy compost and topped it up with grass cuttings and haylage. Some of the spuds have gone into neat haylage in a big, raised-bed like cube sitting on soil. Not sure whether this will work!
The rain came before I could find a home for the last 6 spuds. Tomorrow, maybe.
