I didn't find any today...


I have never had problems with them, but you must use the "cloves" quickly as they rot rather than dry. Mild garlic taste nice in salsas...

Take one indoors, turn out the lights, then shine a torch close to one wall of the pot. If light gets through to the inside you risk green spuds... so line with thick black plastic (eg compost bags).

A lady down our way was sick as a pig after eating her own green spuds...

Me too, but over recent years the pots have been getting thinner with less pigment (recycled PET bottles usually) and so the problem has arisen.

Growing spuds in stacks of old tyres is a great method, just keep adding tyres and compost as the greenery rises....

I've never been let down with that method... unless I try to be greedy and plant more than 2 tubers per bag.
