What's wrong with my potatoes?
« on: June 05, 2008, 23:19:42 »
Some of the leaves on my potatoes are turning yellow, but are healthy.  None as far as I can tell have dropped of and the actual plant looks really good apart form the yellowing.  The variety is Pentland Javelin.

Dunno... try a blast of high nitrogen... eg Urea and see if they recover..  :-\

What is bizarre though is the Charlotte in the next row along are fine.

What fertiliser can I use then as I'm fully organic or at least my plot is?   ;)

Our charlotte are very slow at coming up this year... very patchy rows at the moment. Urea is acceptable.  :-\
