First three are of the sprouting/chitting set up on top of the shelves in the velux window. Dead simple. Oh, the milk carton - it's got holes punched in the lid, to make a fine head, so the seedlings don't get splatted. And it's always full of water, so they're watered at the right temp.



These are the spud set up. We did this today. Lay out the anti weed & slug matting - the black sheet on the bottom. Put the tyres out, fill them with compost. Plant half a dozen tatties in each tyre and add a couple of handfuls of kelp. Put another tyre on the stack, fill it with earth. The wire covers are an anti cat measure; I want tatties, not cat crap! When the first leaves of the tatties show, there will be another tyre added and filled with earth. That will go on til the stacks are six or seven tyres high. Come harvesting time, just lay out a tarp, knock the stacks onto it, then pick up the tatties. The compost can be fertilised (kelp, manure, however you like) and reused.
