Here in eastern Hertfordshire we're thinking of trialing the;
Fred Splatt method of potato planting.
- Set out a straight line on your plot
Put seed potatoes in a trug.
Wearing wellies walk the line with short strides carrying the trug
Each stride throw a potato firmly at the ground about six inches in front of your left foot
Listen for the slurp from the clay as the spud is swallowed
At the end of the line set marker canes
Then start the next row..
