It will soon be potato and tomato planting season so why not combine the two in a single pot? Big Grin

Plant a spud in the bottom of a MFB on 5cm of potting compost. Fill the pot up with compost and plant a tomato plant in the top. Harvest the toms throughout the season and at the end of the season tip the pot out and harvest the potatoes. Probably best with a late low growing maincrop spud methinks with a high phosphate fertiliser like bone meal added to compost. Dodgy

Wadya think? Huh

Years ago the grafted version were sold as 'Tomtaers' in the Sunday papers for a ridiculous amount. That's why I grafted one myself, but I wasn't impressed with results. Rolleyes

PS Maybe they were only in Northern papers!
