Recycle old straw bales to grow your potatoes on sod or soil. This method can eliminate scabs and result in a very clean harvest.

This program will be a hands-on planting session in the ARAS Community Growing Patch.

Learn about the Ardrossan Recreation and Agricultural Society, the ARAS Community Growing Patch, and volunteer opportunities.
