Potatoes in pots

[moggssue]

No, I don't have any garden compost yet (just a pile of rotting leaves and grass cuttings so far in an old plastic bin!) - I do have the soil from last years hanging basket. I saved this to throw onto the veg patch later, but maybe this would be okay for roots in bags?! I'll have this soil available every year, and some from my flower tubs this winter as well since it's time to renew them.

That's probably a little bit too worn out. You could mix it with some bought compost - that would be a compromise, perhaps.

Okay, I'll give that a go - at least it puts the old soil to use rather than discarding it. I'll try a 50/50 mix and see what happens, was going to add some growmore but having reread posts above I won't bother.
