    Also, now found out where the funnel is stored. Made a couple of padded metal retaining brackets to hold it – it just drops into place and gravity does the rest.

    The depth that I plant at can be seen on one of the other videos about 50mm and you will see that I use the same machine to earth them up when they start to show through the ground

    Thanks Jack

    The variety in the video is Charlotte and the ones with my mate looking on are Desiree both.
    There are other Videos linked to the one I put the link up for, that shows Mustard being turned in, we always sowed mustard the Autumn before planting potatoes as we considered it helped to prevent wire worm and slugs. If you look at the video please let me know if it helped
    Thanks Jack

    Managed to make a couple of rope rings for handles recently. So have removed the modern metal handles and fitted the rope ones.

    Quite pleased with the end result.

    [I also ‘watched paint dry’ with a beer in hand when I finished!!]

    I’ve got wonderful Devon clay, it’s been improved over the years using dung and compost. But deeper down I still have poor drainage, Although the winter was wet the spring and summer in my area has been a good growing season. I only plant a few rows of Rocket spuds, I got one part row to dig. The last two rows have some slug damage but I’ve had worst. Around here farmers first cut was 50% up on some years, also hedgerows full of fruit and nuts. So is this nature preparing for a harder winter, we shall now more about that next spring.

    Thanks for the try wristpin, but no cigar this time.

    I must say that it is good that people are taking the trouble to try and help me out.

    I will have to photograph the broken one again;as I seem to have misplaced the originals.
