Hi,

I'm on the waiting list for an allotment so this year I'm growing things in pots as practice.  I have a potato question...when do you put another layer of compost on potatoes?  Mine have broken through the soil but do I cover them up immediately they emerge or wait til they are a couple of inches tall?

Thanks :-)

you can wait a few days UNLESS frost is forecast, which would kill the foliage off.

So if your nights are still very cold then cover right away

Thanks mumofstig, Ill probably cover them then.
