The Cottage Smallholder

I used a whole day to turn over a new plot on our land last Friday. The reason being is my Wife is suffering from a case of the Joneses, or in this case, the Hansens

We have had potatoes in at the bottom of our small hill for a few years, but have really been struggling with keeping them going, simply because we do not live there and cannot keep the soil environment stable.

The situation is not helped by "Fru" Hansen from the next farm, crowing to my wife about the size of her potatoes, onions etc.

So now I have turned over a new patch in a sunnier part of the garden which should hopefully be easier to drain/water.

Any advice on how to "remote grow" potatoes and onions will be gratefully accepted.
