Jay CeeNau mai ki te tau hōu Pākehā, e hoa mā. Along with books, I love gardening (I'm not very disciplined, so I probably like the idea of it more than the doing).
-
For Father's Day 2024, my kids gave me a felt growing bag with six compartments and some bags of compost. I grabbed a bag of agria seed potatoes from Mitre 10 Mega. I filled the felt bag with a mix of compost and basic potting mix with a seed potato in each compartment.
-
After digging through three of the compartments, we have new potatoes! From three seed potatoes, a small abundance. Success!
-
I've never been successful growing potatoes before and was wary of whether this would be successful, being that I placed the bag on a concrete patio in an unsheltered position. The felt bag is black and would absolutely bake in the sun. But the proof's in the pudding.
-
Many rads I know are equally enamored with gardening. There's something about growing your own kai, exercising your personal sovereignty, gradually removing some of your needs from the State and its industrial food system. I encourage everyone to grow some food. It feels awesome!
