    Chitty's Great Potato Famine 2019

    Planted a few spuds in Spring hoping for a mega organic harvest.

    I heard from Shamus at the Caravan site that you're supposed
    Harvest the spuds when the plant flowers....

    The flowers...

    Leave the others in for another week or so for growth. They look nice though, enjoy the eating.

    Garlic butter, a dash of milk, pinch or two of salt, course ground cracked pepper and some shredded sharp cheese. We chase big flavours in the BiP household.

    Put some of that whey on yer taters chitty...not too much though.



    7) Whey

    After making cheese, don’t toss the whey! Whey contains milk solid and nutrients that make it a great fertilizer for your fruits and vegetables. Because whey is slightly acidic, it is especially good for acid-loving plants like blueberries, rhubarb, and some vegetables.

    To use whey as a fertilizer, you will want to dilute it with water first. I have seen many recommendations on water to whey ratios, ranging from 1:1 to 2 cups whey to 2 gallons of water. When I use whey, I generally go with a 1:2 ratio – one part whey, two parts water.

    Well done, CCC.

    Rip Aunt Bessie's.

    Now, can you adopt a similar approach to your pizzas?
