Potatoes?

Hi again A few months ago we received a potato growing kit from www.gyop.potato.org.uk and planted them as per instruction. They have grown superbly in their little black sack and we have had some lovely spuds.
My question is........can I re-use the compost that the spuds were grown in or not?

Sorry if its a daft question........but, well, I have NO idea

Thank all

Steve

 

I would not. There will be very little goodness left in it. Use it as mulch on the garden, as long as your potatoes did not have any blight on them that is.

 

It depends on what you want to use it for, you must not try to grow potatoes in it again but you might try some lettuce or raddish as long as you add some feed or use it to bulk up some fertile compost or soil.

 

Thank you for the replies everyone, I was just considering turning it into the current soil on my borders around the lawn?

I dont think that its a daft question as I was about to ask the same question myself!
We have had one success - see below.
