Hi , I have just acquired a large pot , about 500 litres In Tasmania last month and purchased some seed potatoes , about a kg of mixed variety Going to drill some holes in the side of the pot at the base , add some plastic grating , old bread tray . add a couple of bags on potting mix and plant the spuds . I am thinking of then adding straight mushroom compost from the mushroom farm covering the plants as they grow ( after about 100cm ) leaving some fresh growth on the top. will the mushroom compost be enough , I can get a box trailer load for $30 from the mushroom farm and it has a mixture of what looks like black compost mxed thru it
