Potato Growing 2025

I have had a go at growing spuds and tried growing main crop in a container, it is just not worth it, the yield is no good.

So only grow first/second earlies which are tasty. Last year I bought a bag of each from B&Q and I think I got 15 in each bag for about £4.50, this is too many potatoes for my containers. So this year got Maris Piper/Javelin from Home Bargains for 99p for 4, which will do 1 container. I have tow of those Lidl potato planters that is stackable on top of each other, so can take 12 seed potatoes.

Last year I got 1/2 price chicken pellets from Robert Dyers, at end of season sell off.
