As the shoots emerge add more compost and repeat every time the shoots emerge. until you have about 2.5 feet of compost. I actually use potato buckets which are easier to handle. I leave them outside, then move them in when frost is expected. [Greenhouse, polytunnel, or enclosed porch.] Hopefully you eill have nice new pots in time for Xmas.
