ABOVE. I'm going to be planting Pink Fur Apple potatoes. This is a main crop potato with a distinctive pink skin and creamy waxy flesh. It has a lovely nutty flavour and is perfect for boiling or chipping. Eat hot or cold. They are delicious boiled, and eaten cold in a salad. Below. This is my StrawBale AFTER the "maturing" process. It is important that you get this process right. I have adapted this stage of StrawBale gardening for our UK climate. If you do not get this stage right it will seriously affect your growing. A full day to day explanation of what to do over the 14 days maturing e.g. what to add and when is given in my Instructional DVD. Here's a great little tip. When you have completed the "maturing" process and are about to plant your seed potatoes. Cut off and remove the TOP bailing twine. see below.
