Links to products I use, that I have bought and can recommend. If you click one of these links and buy the same thing as me, you pay EXACTLY the same as me, but I earn a small commission from Amazon. Amazon pays this, not you! We are talking pennies here not pounds and I use it more as a shop window,so you can see the product. I always also advise you "shop around" first to find the best price you can.

    Hi Steve, I'm a new subscriber. I notice that you sow your seeds into compost without any vermiculite. When I do this I get green algae growing on the top of the soil. How do you prevent this? And do you water from the top or sit the trays in water to soak up? Hope you can help. Thanks.

    Thanks for this! Here in Canada I am growing some Russet potatoes but mostly Kennebec. We don’t think of first early or second early or main crop here, we just kind of grow them! I saw someone say it works differently in the UK because of your cool moist summers. I’m growing in spanking brand new 35L containers with handles. You have me worried though as I have bought four seed taters per pot, Tony O’Neil made me do it😇! I’m hoping the extra 5L will help. I’m planning on watering mine with half strength Miracle grow weekly. My growing medium will be Pro Mix, a super duper peat based compost. I’m Planning to can the potatoes for home fries!
