according to Johns book, feed after about a month (when established) with fish blood and bone

I assume that a potato bag is a large pot/tub shaped thing. ???
When I earth mine up I simply add some chicken poo pellets. :tongue2: :tongue2:
Makes it easy to remember as all I have to do is decide when they are big enough to need earthing up. ::)
