Hi John, I always buy grow bags and take the soil out and put it into large pots, having loosened it up. Works well every time, and B&Q do them at a very reasonable price (their own brand).

I use the compost out on my compost bin's...I mix B.F.B in it as I dig it out then when the plants are growing well I top the pots up with about 3in of compost from the G.C.
Works for me and because the B.F.B is slow acting it feeds the plants for longer,I then feed with tom feed when needed.

I ususally use grow bags from B&Q but I've got alot left after a disasterous christmas spud harvest which was a none event. So I was going to mix it with new compost and add B.F.B. I've seived it to make sure there's no old spuds left, seems a shame to waste it.
