So added to this at harvest, scroll down to view the life and times of a potato. To save digging when harvesting I have shallow planted the potatoes and made a frame out of corflute that the colorbond comes in. Bit of mulch on top and then just keep adding the mulch as they grow. The one you can see came up on its own accord. That simple. Planted   Add the mulch And away they go Yellowing and wilting, ready to harvest   Soil looks great. No digging involved means no damage to potatoes or my back.  Looking good...

This is my crop. Not too shabby. Dried in the cool, this will last us most of the year. For best results stop feeding all nitrogen, like compost, two or thee months from harvest. As soon as this was harvested I added lots of compost and some Earthlife vegemate to the soil then planted lettuce, Q's, spring onions, tomatoes and basil.

If you purchased the potential yield of what's in the Extra Large Watersaver Garden below at Woolworths that's what it would cost. This is not factoring the extra it would cost if you hunted for organic products. coming along nicely 9 July Been away in Melbourne visiting daughters so this has got away on me. You can see just how much you can grow without the effort, and save money. Photo 29 August.
