if you go that way spuds are the best crop to use to improve your soil.

as you have to dig to put the seeds in, earth them up, weed round them and then dig them out that breaks up the soil

actually i ordered a compost bin yesterday, so if i start on it soon i should have some nice compost for next years potato's cheers Bernard

We usually grow sprouts, onions,garlic cabbage and cauliflower but admit in the ground not in tubs, carrot's we have never had a lot of luck with and parsnip are hit or miss, we also grow tomatoes, but we do have a green house, my daughter has grown tomatoes using a grow bag outside and had a reasonable crop I think a lot depends on the weather,

[panther]

do you not need summat to put in the compost bin with everything to get it all rotting?

[flashytart]

yeah worms lol

You need to put 1/2 bucket of good soil in as well, it will contain the bacteria you need to turn it into proper compost. If you come across any worms chuck them in as well.
