On this week's episode of The Dirt Podcast, our guest Huw Richards shares his 'lazy' way for growing potatoes (without having to do any digging!) along with other shortcuts and hacks for making life easier on your allotment plot or veg patch 🥔
Do you grow potatoes this way?
We'll be making a #tattie-bogle on Saturday with your help. Materials sourced locally, with East of Scotland Farmers Country Store donating straw, willow harvested from the park and the Reuse shop on George street handing over clothes to keep our bogle warm. #scarecrow#agri
John Marshall is Scotland's potato expert and he'll be on hand this Saturday to offer advice on how to grow potatoes, what varieties, and when to plant.
Online ticket sales end tomorrow evening, limited number on the door.
