Hi, I am growing my potatoes in planter bags to save some space, but the tops have all fallen over and they are looking awfully sorry for themselves. Is there a certain product that can be used in planter bags? Thanks, Jody.

Hi Jody, start your potato crop at the bottom of the bag, quarter fill the container with potting mix and keep adding potting mix as the potatoes continue to sprout. You need to keep mounding the potatoes until they reach the top of the bag, this will help stop them flopping over. Regular applications of Tui Seaweed Plant Tonic will help stimulate growth, use a quality free draining potting mix such as Tui Vegetable Mix rather than garden soil when planting in containers. Feed with Tui Superfood Vege & Herb liquid fertiliser every week during the growing season or Tui NovaTec Premium fertiliser which feeds for up to 3 months and is suitable for container grown veges.
