Growing Potatoes In Containers

[veg4681]

I went to my local wyvale yesterday and they are now selling granular potato fertilizer, so it appears it is becoming more available and less specialized. I originally got mine mail order with my spuds.

Hmmm...will definitely get the granular potato fertilizer as soon as I see them at Wilko .

Hello, I have a newbie question.. I have been trying to grow potatoes in a large deep container, topping the soil up to cover the new shoots until i get to the top. Ive managed to get about 6 inches of soil into the container but I think that I have left it too long and leaves have formed.
Should I continue to top it up by covering the leaves with soil or should I throw them out and start again??

Just keep topping it up.
