On the 15th March I emptied out the old compost from this 2 m x 3 m raised bed and filled it with my new season compost. I planted out 20 "Charlotte" and in the next door raised bed I planted out 20 "Nicola" chitted, organic tubers. I then covered the 2 beds with geotextile to warm them up and keep them safe from frost.
Today I uncovered the 2 raised beds and replaced the Geotextile with open woven mesh. This keeps the hens off the growing spuds AND provides a bit of frost protection.
They are growing really well!

Have you ever done sweet potatoes? I am trying to sprout some now, and they keep rotting. Once I get some slips, I am growing them in a barrel this year since we have limited yard space.
I have not but it is on my "to do" list.
