November
Prepare for next year
November is a good time to start planning and preparing your beds for next year.
With the use of a garden fork simply turn the soil over and work in some well rotted manure to provide essential nutrients for your potatoes. If you are unable to use manure then specialised potato fertilizer can be used but the fertilizer should be placed below the potato and a layer of soil, or compost put in between so that the potato roots grow down into the soil to establish properly.
The potato bed should be a trench about 4-6 inches deep and you place the potato into the trench and cover with soil so that good peak is formed
Check your Christmas Potatoes
Ensure your Christmas potatoes are well protected from the frost, particularly those being grown outdoors.
