Potato Patio Kit

This Potato Patio Kit is great for first time growers looking to start home growing without taking up too much space, and also perfect for the established grower plugging holes in their growing season and topping up their stores. 

This kit contains 1kg of Potato 'Arran Pilot', 5 potato growing bags perfect for the patio, and 5 packets of Nurseryman's Choice vegetable seeds, giving home growers a chance to try something new or unusual this year! 

Potato 'Arran Pilot' is a first early traditional favourite producing white fleshed tubers of firm waxy texture and a pleasing flavour. This variety is at its most wonderful straight out of the ground and into the pot for use as a salad or new potato. Potato 'Arran Pilot' also shows good resistance to scab. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Our potato growing bags are an easy and convenient way to grow potatoes on your patio. These durable black/grey potato growing bags hold 8 litres of compost and can be re-used, folding flat over winter and requiring minimal storage space. The black and grey colouring prevents light reaching the developing potato tubers for healthy and delicious crops; and absorbs heat for a quick start in the spring. Following on from this year's technical trials, we now recommend planting a single tuber per 8 litre bag - we noted a 186% increase in yield! We're pleased to have seen this verified in the March 2016 issue of Which? Gardening – the trials team did their own testing and experienced the same 186% boost in yield. Bag dimensions: 8" x 11"

Plus, there's nothing more satisfying that a plate full of your own 'home grown' veggies! Our great value Nurseryman's choice collection offers a selection of customer favourites, selected from our wide range of vegetable seed. We will send you a variety of 'easy to grow seed' to produce a full range of crops that you can plant in your garden or on the allotment. Whether you are a beginner gardener, or a green-fingered grower, this lucky dip provides the perfect opportunity to try something new!
