Help with potatoes
« on: June 24, 2013, 21:43 »
What do I do about potatoes.  All three varieties are struggling.  They were planted 5 th of April.  Winton .   Maris peer.  Compared to other on the allotment the foliage is small.  Some of the leaves have gone yellow.  Advised to feed with super phosphates. Now I am concerned. I should do something about the yellowleaves.  Should I give them a feed with tomato feed. When they were planted they had some grow organic added.  Confused about what I should do. THANKS

Comfrey tea if you have any. Mine stayed small for what felt like months but now they are great.

Some tomato feed probably wouldn't do them any harm.
