Bagpuss, get a box scheme in! And buy the spuds in bigger bulk, store them in that old coal shed at the food at the foot of the garden (I'll go see if its watertight next time I'm round) or in the garage; doesn't get very warm in there does it? Get 'em in a paper sack or transfer them to a cloth one, they'll last fine if you don't use them fast.


they may last but if we are getting spuds at a far greater rate than we are using them it is still pointless

I keep pondering a box scheme and one of these days I might actually take the plunge but we shall have to wait and see untill then I will do the best I can

Some of the schemes around here will do 'without potatoes' or what have you, then all you have to do is buy them separately; I happen to know a greengrocer not much more than a hundred yards from your place selling fenland spuds. Stored properly they'll keep fine.
