dsc00654.jpgIngredients: For approx 100 tasty spuds for xmas.

I pack of Haxnicks Potato planter bags – there are 3 bags in each pack. 
Tui vegetable potting mix  - 3 bags
Tui potato food  - 1 bag
Compost
Jersey Benne seed potatoes – sprouted.

Sprout the spuds in August / September. Half full planters with a blend of vegetable potting mix and compost and evenly place 3 spuds per bag and cover with 5-10cm (2 -4 inchs) of potting mix. Water well.
As the shoots appear, keep filling the bags with vegetable potting mix until bag is full.  A handful or two of the potato fertiliser applied once the bags are full works well. Water regularly – 2 – 3 times per week.
