Hi

Do we need to use potash on our potatoes? - no idea what we are doing so thought we would ask? We have planted them with well rotted manure and have used growmore - do we need anything else?

Thanks

As far as I'm concerned you overdone it already - but I'm on rich soil - I only use manure.

I dig in composted manure and give a drop of potato fertiliser when the haulms are about half grown.
