  • What's your method for the tubs?

    I bought loads of cheap MP compost (Levington's Essentials ) which was crap but I roughly mixed it with composted horse/farm manure (Wickes) plus a handful of 6X chicken fertilizer .
    Chitted tubers on a 6" base of this then cover and earth up as the halms grow.
    I never let the tubs dry out so possibly too moist for ants ?

  • Interesting to read. Thanks for that. I’m definitely going to refine my methods based on this year’s trial.

  • There is a bit of a trial going on with these 8 tubs - 4 had Vitax Potato fertilizer mixed in and the other 4 had blood ,fish & bone mixed in but I doubt I'll see any significant difference.
