I put my first lot of potatoes in some tyre towers (I've done a post on the potato tower myth if you are interested in perusing it :) ) but I had so many potatoes to put in the ground, in the end I threw them in pits (I'd taken soil to use elsewhere) and then covered them with lawnmower clippings. My fingers are crossed I get some decent harvest - but we're going through a drought and most of the plants have keeled over, so who knows.

I do really enjoy following your garden guides, as you keep things simple, and research whether traditional methods could be myth or fact.

I've been trying to locate a secondhand scythe, as my son is interested in using one but they are scarce these days. It would be so useful to be able to make our own hay. Maybe one day... :)
