SPUD BUCKET CHALLENGE & PICNIC
|
The Spud Bucket Challenge is a GCC event designed to illustrate the effect of 'sowing seeds' and experiencing the plentiful harvest.
The GCC community were given one bucket and one seed potato and sent out to see what harvest they could produce. Here are the rules for the competition. You could try this as well!

There is a lot of information on line about how to grow a potato - the idea is that you keep covering up the sprout so it grows more roots and therefore more baby spuds - but check out on line - its all there!
PS: Don't forget to put some holes in the bottom of your bucket. Prizes will be awarded for:
