Hi all,
I have been hearing about the growing in tyres idea for years but have not tried it. Last year I grew some spuds in a new galvanised rubbish bin and it worked well. This year I will do it again and am thinking of using the same principal by growing spuds in a compost bin. I am wondering if, after the growing season, I left the spuds burried and put the lids back on both containers to keep the rain out, would the spuds store well or would they rot??

Any ideas?

Also I have just had fantastic success with the "Beer slug traps" I put 5 old jars in my herb garden and the next day there was about 30 dead slugs floating in them. I had not even seen any slugs prior to that.
