Grow Potatoes in a Bucket

The Motueka Community Board is organising a potato growing competition with an emphasis on community involveement.  Board member Tara Forde said the Board was encouraging people to get involved with gardening, including those who don't have the space for a traditional garden.

By growing potatoes in buckets minimal effort is required and she hopes a diverse range of people will take part.

People are encouraged to register for the competition on Sunday 23 November 2008 at Community House, Decks Reserve, Wallace Street, Motueka at 11:00 am. They will be given a bucket and potato, along with lots of advice and help.

"We have lots of great prizes" said Tara.
