« i am thinking of growing potatoes in grow bags what is the best compost to use
They are vulnerable to cold winds when young so if the weather deteriorates they might benefit from some protection. Clear plastic bottles with the bottoms cut off make good cloches and if you leave the tops off you get enough ventilation to prevent to much humidity inside. Its a good idea to put the canes in place before planting to avoid damaging the roots later.
