Hi everyone! I’m a newbie and I find I’m often paralyzed into inaction by all my questions. The pandemic is creating some forward momentum in me though, which I guess is a thing to be grateful for?
I’m terrified of potatoes! Which is ridiculous. I’ve gained a ton of insight by reading several of the potato posts on here but one thing I haven’t found an answer to is: if one was to grow potatoes in bags/towers/straw, what does one do with the leftover material? Of course we don’t want to waste it! If it seems that there wasn’t disease/pests, can it composted for future use in the garden? If there was disease/pests, would proper hot composting kill all that? If one left all the material in place and amended it/grew green mulch in it, could it be reused for a couple of years? Or is it just best to grow it in the ground and move it around from year to year?
Thank you to everyone for this site! I have learned so much and am so grateful for all the time put into answering questions and discussions.
