Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

Cp, it was Michele who originally posted about growing potatoes In a bag.  It is dead simple. I put a garbage bag inside another, filled it with compost and some slow release fertiliser. I then added some sprouting potatoes and left them for several months, although I did add more compost as the potatoes grew so that they didn't turn green. I harvested them once they had died back.

My garden has made me so happy today - I had one friend call in with a 3.6kg piece of freshly killed lamb to trade for a bag of lemons and a bag of zucchini, then another friend turned up with 10kg bag of freshly dug potatoes to swap for lemons!!

Finally my raised garden beds are taking shape
Today I made poly pipe arches over the tanks so I can put bird netting over them.
Then I added cardboard, newspaper, pea straw, sheep poo (stinky), compost, blood and bone.
Still need some more pea straw, sheep poo and compost to fill them right to the top.
My arms and shoulders are pretty sore today. Hopefully DH might be able to help me a little today
