potatoes

Rosie, 3 of my containers are old dustbins, our council have issued the big wheeled bins for the collection of refuse, so they are surplus to needs,I would think that now many areas use this method there will be plenty of surplus bins, perhaps the council may have some.Old compost bags will also do, spuds are fairly easy to grow.
