    Put some old drain connectors round one plant as it came up,

    Blimey they were tightly packed.

    Got a reasonable amount from 1 plant though

    Don't know what the round red ones were, came up from a tuber that was missed.

      Looks a good amount Ziggy, novel idea. :dbgrtmb:
      I've only dug two roots of mine as yet and they have not been very good.
      I only dug a couple from around the edge of the plot.

      I'm hoping that the ones in the middle are better as they will have received more water.

      Cheers Pete, I was going to use them to earth up around the tomatoes but saw that come up & thought i'd give it a go.

      Will use something wider next time.

      Only dug these for the show, still got plenty in the ground.

      I'll keep em crossed for yours:dbgrtmb:
