    never knew about wood ash and wire worm / pests, thanks Mo!

    I started using wood Ash 8 years ago and I have eliminated wire worm and scab so definitely worth using. Woodchips are a gardener's best friend.

    My allotment site has regular deliveries of woodchips in the course of the year. Our latest delivery about three weeks ago was a good mixture of woodchips and leaves so it will compost well in a reasonably short time - say six to eight months. At the beginning of this year I filled three of my “Dalek” style compost bins with partially composted woodchips and when I turned them this week they have decomposed well and I will be spreading it on my plot in early winter. I like your idea of growing potatoes in woodchips and this year I have experimented with the Charles Dowding method of “no dig” potato growing for early and second earlies with excellent results. So next year I will incorporate his method and yours by adding a good layer of woodchips over the potatoes as they grow - thanks for the idea.

    Looking forward to more videos now we are getting in to sowing and growing season... I've got lots of seeds and seedlings on the go now. Feels good after a long grey wet winter 🌱

    I've just started with 2 raised beds and I've used woodchip as a border around them. I think I'll bang some spuds in there now cheers. Ramadam mubarak

  • @paulh546
    @paulh546 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I've never tried spuds in the ground with wood chips, luckily, my allotment is right next door to the wood chip pile, so think I'll give this method a go this year (along with the 30 litre bucket method)

    I think I'm going to try this this year. I recently had a delivery of woodchip that's too fine really for paths. I was just going to use it to mulch but this sounds like a great idea - thank you for sharing.

    Do you think you could grow with wood chips in bags? Maybe with 20cm of earth in the bottom them wood chip on top?

    I think potatoes grow in just about any soil,woodchip,munure ect.So this year I am going to space them out on the grass,cover with wood chips & not do anything else.

      Persistant mulch and hoeing will weaken it eventually, but it will take a long time
