So far, there is no movement at all with the no dig poataoes. I'm not expecting shoots to burst through the straw overnight or anything. But I have had a quick peek under the straw and most of the potatoes look like they've only been under there for five minutes...

| hmmmm... |
I think the problem is that it is all just too dry. Luckily my lovely neighbours have a giant pile of soil that they need to shift so we put five wheelbarrow loads over the straw which will hopefully help retain more moisture.

| hopefully this makes a difference |
