Do you think you can improve on the 2023 Winner whose effort weighed in at a huge 1.8 kg.

Morton Smith-Dawe have assisted us with the potato tubers again this year. “Haylo” is a new early potato which matures at 80-90 days, it’s a great all round potato with good flavour, for roasting, boiling, wedges & chips.

The idea is to grow your potatoes in this black bag using your own special mixture of soil and fertiliser and watering it as often as you wish.

RULES:

• Limit of one ticket per person (to make it more fair)

• The potatoes must be grown in the numbered bag as provided.

• The whole bag with the plant in it needs to be brought to school on weigh in day.

• We tip the plant and soil out of the bag and just weigh the potatoes. You get to take your potatoes home and keep the black bag for growing in at home also.
  

Now is your opportunity to have another go and see how many potatoes you can grow in a bag. 

Weigh-In Day is scheduled for Thursday 28th November 2024.
