[QUOTE="einstein, post: 6864228, member: 136"] I'm doing a similar thing...but in a polytunnel and in pots. Growing in reused coir from my strawberry enterprise. Focusing on earliness..I want to be lifting from mid may onwards selling at the same time as the strawbs They appear to love coir..as strawbs and rasps do. Last year I tried javelin,rocket,int kidney,swift,Charlotte,Nicola ,peer and dunluce. No clear winners...the swift were the earliest but the least flavour. The rocket yielded best. The Charlotte and Nicola both produced a nice potato...in fact im eating the last of them now. This year I'm pinning my hopes on Anya. With some Winston and premier as well. My aim is to produce something so tasty that the customer will want to come back for more. I've rarely found this with shop bought new spuds . Can anyone suggest a way to enhance the flavour.? Also I can control the feed ec and ph..each pot is watered individually with a dripper system.. Can anyone suggest what the ideal levels might be? [/QUOTE]
