liquid plant food
manured ground so just assume they prefer to be underfed, rather than overfed.  But I could be wrong. I buy specialist feed for the pelargoniums in my window boxes and pots. For anyone interested to make their nettle feed, just pick a whole big bunch by pash2

Growing potatoes in pots
get your seed potatoes, set them in egg boxes with the eyes facing up. Put in a light frost free area, a north facing window sill perhaps. After 6 weeks they will have sprouted (chitted). You can get some soft plastic containers called potato planters by 222222222

Hi, I've read the other newbie posts about their new veggies/raised beds. I had started my lettuce/radish/carrots/spinach from seed on window sills. Following the advice on this site, I pricked them out and kept in doors. Yesterday I built a 1meter by Sinevegas
