Hi
I'f you're new to growing potatoes in pots, as well as having a fertle ( I do like that word!) around for the potatoes, have one too for slugs. They love bags, I've been earthing up today and lost count of how many I've found, although do remember finding 23 in and on one of them!!
As well as keeping them off your potatoes, the bags are obviously a good hang-out place for slugs, look especially on the stem and down the sides between bag and compost.
After all this rain, they are out in force, everywhere! had a fine slug day yesterday, and after collecting 17 from my greenhouse, found a whole new replacement crew in there as well.
