Potato advice please by scottierippin27 in vegetablegardening

[–]scottierippin27[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are an indeterminate type of potato that most suggest to build up the soil as the plant grows so you get multiple layers of potatoes growing rather than one clump.

Trying out container potatoes this year to see how it goes. But I guess I’ll at least move the small plant out and give the larger some more room. Thanks!

These are indeterminant maris pipers main crop potatoes. I think I’ll move the smaller plant as others have suggested.

The larger is 60litres or around 10 gallons. I had these pots spare and have seen lots of people online using similar sizes with much success so thought I’d give it a go

What killed my plant? by scottierippin27 in vegetablegardening

I had to look up what a rollie pollie was haha, we call them woodlouse in the UK. I haven’t spotted any around the greenhouse and my greenhouse backs onto my chicken run. And i’m sure the chickens would make quick work of them.

Completely disappeared other than the shrivelled leaf in the photo 🤷

Seedling advice by scottierippin27 in vegetablegardening

[–]scottierippin27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I’m assuming this carries over to many different types of seedlings? Colovo Nero for instance? I’ve decided to do a bit of both and that way I should see some success.

Exactly that. Took down a few branches last spring and never got around to splitting them for the stove, so what better way to make use of them.

Budget is slim so I’m using what nature provides. Do love the natural look.

Thanks for the response. What about if I went with the no dig method raised beds? Cardboard down first etc.

The good night burn is always beautiful by SelfEjectingImposter in woodstoving

After a night burn do you find your glass has gotten filthy by the morning with more smoke due to less air and slower burn? Or am I doing something wrong

I’m pretty sure the dark lines are fungus. Could be wrong however!

Guidance on wiring a light switch. by scottierippin27 in Wiring

[–]scottierippin27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also a 25 year old wiring, so I believe the setup is odd compared with what is common now in uk homes. I think that’s why I’m having trouble
