    Dan, you have to be the Spud King! I am always amazed at the volume of potatoes you produce in those pots. I think I'll need to have a talk with each seed potato I put in the pots next Spring!

    Hi Dan, I worked out that if this is a 50 litre pot, and you got 25lb, then if you ordinarily grow in a 30 litre pot, and equivalent haul would have been 15lb in a 30litre pot.

  • @meehan302

    Good crop. I did get a bit of tuber blight this year on the Sarpo Mira but only about 5 tubers out of 200lb + of spuds so can't complain. I've got 3 x 30L pots of sarpos in my garden still with green leaves on but I think they've stopped growing now.

    I am so tempted to only grow spuds in pots this coming season. I grew Sarpo Mira's in the ground this year, they are unstoppable, I had to dig them in the end to clear the ground. Saying that my SunBaby Gold cherry toms are still growing in Nov in the UK!!!!!!

      +allotmentdiary Thank you for your reply, however; the reason I asked about the 2014 results is because I live in Canada and the only product that I can get shipped here from England is the Blood, Fish and Bone. I wanted to know the results of the comparison between the B,F&B and the Potato Magic in 2014 to see whether or not it was worth my while to look into having a relative ship it to me from the UK. Also, you mentioned that there isn't much difference between Potato Magic and Spuds Galore - which one do you prefer? Thanks again in advance.
