Harvesting and Storage
Harvesting and Storage - the desired destination for your carefully cultivated home-grown fruit and vegetables has to be the kitchen table, but don't be fooled into thinking the hard work is over as you prepare to harvest the crops you've spent all year carefully pruning, training, spraying, feeding, watering and generally fretting about. You may have beaten the pests, diseases and even the weather to successfully bring your plants to the point of picking and pulling but the very last thing you want to do is cause damage while harvesting. And imagine the distress of discovering after a few days in supposedly ideal storage conditions, your carefully cultivated wares have changed from crisp, juicy and fresh produce into a rancid soggy mess.

Being gardeners ourselves, we've been through this horticultural harvesting trauma before and that's why we've brought together a reassuring range of gentle pickers, soft harvesting bags, traditional storage sacks, great looking racks and baskets to keep your produce at hand and to help ensure you don't have to go through such an ordeal...

Potato Harvesting Scoop
Potato Harvesting Scoop
£15.95
No more stabbed spuds with the Potato Harvesting Scoop, a modern day take on the traditional potato 'grate' which combines that centuries-old design with 21st Century technology giving you an efficient and reliable aid to harvesting container and field grown potato tubers.

The effectiveness of the Potato Harvesting Scoop is based on the bar across the end of the tines which prevents the frustrating accidental stabbing of tubers - infuriating for gardeners - while the spacing and shape of the tines (2cm apart) allows potatoes to be sifted from the soil. Measuring 50cm overall and boasting a 15cm wide scoop, the Potato Harvesting Scoop is particularly adept at lifting container or planting bag-grown spuds but can also be used on outdoor crops if the soil is loosened beforehand. The Potato Harvesting Scoop is forged from stainless steel, has a hardwood handle and comes complete with an attractive leather hanging thong.
