Try putting some garden canes down the sides of the bag and running some string between them to provide some support for the leaves and stalks. Sticks would be just as good as garden canes and are free, or maybe move the potato bag to a more sheltered area.

Wait until the frosts hasve gone before putting them out. Best guess would be some time during March. Wait until the frosts hasve gone before putting them out.

Just ordered mine, so I'll let you kow how things go later in the year! xxx The Unwins potato bags aren’t the cheapest by a couple of £s, but certainly not the most expensive, and you do get the rfee fertilizer.

Had a great first year and was impressed with the nuber of potatoes I managed to grow, but not quite the 27 lbs shown above! Still great value for moeny though. My best tip for this year is to chit your seed potatoes when they arrive as this will get things moving and you'll get a head start on your early crop. Like the website, but you need to sell more types of potato for the second year onwards as the choice is limited.
