Growing Potatoes in Pots

April is the best month to plant potatoes outdoors.  Here's a great idea - grow them in pots.

Choose a large pot around 10 to 15 litres and quarter fill it one quarter full with compost taken from a Verve Grow Your Own Growing Bag (available from B&Q).  This is a Best Buy compost for containers and only cost 7p litre.

Bury one chitted tuber near the bottom, and top up with more of the same compost as it grows.  Protect it from frost - just bring it inside if there is a threat of frost, until the threat has passed.
