Oh gosh, not sure whether potatoes good in a wicking bed - might be hard to get ph right? If at first you don't succeed - times of year, using netting, all kinds of things can help and hinder. Definitely a learning curve! Could try beetroot/fennel/cabbage heading toward autumn, but of course those pesky cabbage moths - grrr. They say these days a more crowded bed is better - calendula/marigold for bugs, and plant things in different parts, like a cluster of lettuce in one spot, a cluste r in another, and companion plant it all.
Oh, I thought that potatoes would just grow anywhere!
Huh... mixed planting, that hadn't occurred to me, but i makes sense!
