Potato Tower Final Reveal and Conclusions. La tour à pommes de terre - les resultats
We planted up the tower on 14th of July and therefore, the potatoes shouldn't have been lifted before well into December. However, the excessive rain and resultant humidity forced us to empty the tower on the 22nd of October. What we found was most interesting, potatoes had formed along all three levels of the tower where the shoots had been trained to the outside to nourish the plant. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BxCVzLcVhM

We finally dig into our pallet wood box to see what's underneath the soil. Having eaten the leaves all through the Spring, Summer and into Autumn we were so happy to get the one delicious potato we found when we last looked. However, after a morning of frost we decide not to wait any longer.
The Video Response below "In to Lunch" contains some dishes we made with sweet potato leaves i.e. omelettes, eggs Florentine, tart, baked ravioli, pancakes, stir-fry, tagliatelle - please ask if you would like the recipes.

Hice este torno para virtualmente ningún coste como mi vecino me dio un viejo motor de la máquina que lavaba. He estado deseando un torno de madera durante algún tiempo así que esto parecía la oportunidad ideal de hacer uno.
J'ai fabriqué ce tour pour pratiquement rien parce que mon voisin m'a donné un vieux moteur de machine à laver. J'ai eu envie d'un fabrication tour à bois pendant un certain temps, donc cela semblait l'occasion idéale pour m'en faire un.

An experiment in organic potato production by using a more sophisticated 'earthing up' process. The greater soil depth in the tower provides more potato producing capacity for the area used. Growing in the Greenhouse should also stop the wind borne blight spores.

Une expérience - la production de pommes de terre biologiques en utilisant un processus de buttage plus sophistiqué. La plus grande profondeur du sol dans la tour offre une capacité de produire plus de pommes de terre pour la zone utilisée. Faire pousser les pommes de terre dans la serre devrait également arrêter les ravages des spores du mildiou, qui sont emportés par le vent.

We haven't used our flush toilet for a year and a half and have already saved 2/3 of our annual water bill. Detailed written information: http://thegreenlever.blogspot.fr/2014/03/make-your-own-dry-toilet-system-from.html#.VEua1K1Dt0x Better for us, better for the planet. My previous film showed how to make the compost bin, this one shows in detail the stages necessary for the construction of a small cabin to house the dry toilet, using wood recuperated from untreated pallets. This design can be used to create other small garden outbuildings for storage or recreation, the only limit is your imagination!
