You get the idea.
We decided that to start off the veggies we going to grow some tatties! According to the neighbours the tatties grow really well here, but many residents don't bother anymore. Too much work possible for many of them.
So psychonaut eagerly double dug a plot over today. We have dug in some compost and will fork it over a few more times over the coming week or so.
Psychonauts plan is to get some organic tatties from the supermarket...then let em seed. He said that is what his dad did. I can't remember what my grandparents did, they stopped growing tatters when I was very young...I just remember digging them up for years after!
Any other tips?

Then get Psychonaut to kick the dustbins over, and LO! You'll have a nice harvest of loverly spuds. You can do the same with strong bin liners and even old car tyres piled one on top of the other. It saves all that backbreaking work earthing up the drills etc.
