Robbo1962 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I am about to finish a bed of tatties, I have a raised bed system and want to make use of the space....any ideas, bearing in mind next season I could not put tatties back in the same bed?? I was thinking of some spring greens for the spring... Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'd grown some caulis to go on the allotment but as it is not ready yet, they have gone into the potato bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flo Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 On a similar note, I have just had my first potatos that I have grown in a bag on the patio. What should I do with the compost that was in these? I have read about not planting potatos in the same bed year on year but I'm not sure how this applies to bags... any advice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Flo, you will be ok with the bags as long as you use fresh compost every year. It is the build up on the same veg in the same compost that can cause problems. I have just emptied one of my potato bags onto the compost bin, as the tatties were ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
