    This season I tried Potatoes in grow bags, one was fed with Potato feed from Wyveale the other nothing, both bags were watered the same; although I didn't weigh either bag the same amount of new Potatoes were the same.........I should add that the same growing medium was used in both bags (own compost mixed with Coir)

            The leaves are edible (taste like cabbage) so meals will be made of them too.

              You certainly get some good results my friend, and everything looks so healthy. Long gone are my veggie growing days. Root veg often would cause a laugh, where mishapes were dug up. The weather at times played hell with the potato crop. Dry season and most turned out like moth balls. Wet season and lots could be rotten. At one time, being responsible for the gardens of local top military staff, I would be expected to grow various foreign fruits and veg. Bit of a puzzler at times.
