A group of TOP folks met to be shown by Gary how to grow potatoes in old tyres.
A stack of tyres was filled with compost...
and seed potatoes were added.
To use the space efficiently Gary planted a jerusalem artichoke in the triangle between the three tyres.
A combination of water and comfrey tea was poured onto the tatties...
...and the tyres were covered with sheets of glass to speed up the growing process.
Great photos again, but it’s like watching a silent film Manuela, and I just knew Harriet would place the crown on her head ! any words to go with it ?
Gary and I were down the other evening and he took the glass off the tops, as the leaves had now reached it.
