I love my garden and am going to try growing spuds this year. Any advice for maximum crop? Someone mentioned potato feed? Suggestions welcome

I'm not an expert but I think you just keep topping up the soil as the plants grow.

ta - am also trying pea plants this year for the first time. Usually the slugs/snails destroy all those sort of plants but let's see. Also have a hedgehog in the garden that eats them so hope that helps.

My DH has been putting slug pubs round the garden - small yogurt tubs sunk in the soil, filled with beer, the slugs make a bee-line for them and kind of sink?
Good Luck!!
