Not being a regular spud grower...
« on: August 20, 2018, 12:58 »

This year I planted Accord, Wilja, Kestrel, Majestic, and Pink Gipsy.  The Accords (3) are all up and very pleased with them. All the others seem to be about to die off.  Should I dig them all up or leave them until the foliage has really died?

As has been told, the soil structure has improved greatly.

Cheers,  Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

they are not going to grow any more so I would lift mainly to stop any slug or rodent damage.

Will do Greenjay, and wouldn't you know, only a few weeks ago I cleared out a cupboard of strong paper bags I'm convinced we would not need!

Cheers,  Tony.
