Prepared and Ready
Our tattie field is ready for the next year.
Getting Prepared to Plant (Part 1)
Preparing The Tattie Field
Well the end of March and April saw a lot of action in our Tattie Field. First of all John Wilson a local farmer came out to plough two strips of land for us to start planting. Then we had a visit from Ann Rogers from Albert Bartletts who came to give us advice about what we need to do to take care of our tatties.
Chitting
We started chitting our potatoes this week. 3 different types of potatoes at the moment. We also got an e-mail from Anne at Albert Bartletts, who has agreed to come and give us advice about our Tattie Field.
Food for Life
Some of our staff have received training from Food for Life and Primary 7 have taken part in their award system.
What kind of potatoes should we use?
Growing Potatoes
Where we plan to plough
We have contacted our local farmer and he has agreed to plough two strips of 5m long. Primary 7 have calculated how much potato seed we need and bought them from a local supplier.
Tattie Field Update
We have some community volunteers on board with us and we hope to support each other to develop a thriving community of vegetable growers.
