Do you put the tin lid on?  If you do, how do they grow, if you don't how do you keep the slugs out?

I think I'm being wound up here :oops:

thinking about it, this must just be for storage not growing - surely.

Not according to the link, Sal.

smaller yields - but very tasty - and i've still got quite a few going  

will defo do more next year

I've got a few tins of spuds in sand in the garage, I'm keeping them for sowing. First time I've done it, we'll see what they are like.

when you going to start chitting them?

[gobs]

If they are OK, I shall repack them into cardboard boxes in a couple of week's time. I usually plant a first lot very early, sometime in March.( For around here, anyway)

It's rather the soil the prob here, cold, soaked clay.

I've never grown spuds before, so am eagerly awaiting my freebies, would also like to try sante, so am hoping fonthill garden centre will have a good selection, next door and my dad always swore by aaran pilot.
