jok 3,296 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Spot on son. Still best to keep them in the shed or greenhouse for another few weeks though. In fact you’ve inspired me to do the same. Thanks. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,529 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Thats the long and short of it. Just keep topping up when ever they peep through or a bit sooner until we are clear of frosts. Once clear of frosts you can let them keep there there heads above the soil a bit. Do that until you get to the top of the bag 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollieollie 766 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I dont like them personally, although they work fine I just find 30l tubs easier to handle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav 1,708 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Too rich shit will burn em, fold em down and roll them up as you add more muck, it's a good way if you haven't space. I just use ole sacks for firsts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dervburner 2,549 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Funnily enough I’ve just come across a couple of those bags when tidying up the other day. Might plant a few early spuds....I’ve got a new dibber as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
