Planting and Growing

All Guide to all you need to know

Prepare the bed

With the use of a garden fork simply turn the soil over and work in some well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients for your potatoes. If you are unable to use manure then specialized potato fertilizer can be used but the fertilizer should be placed below the potato and a layer of soil or compost put in between so that the potato roots grow down into the soil to establish properly. The potato bed should be a trench about 4-6 inches deep and you place the potato in the trench and cover with soil so that a small peak is formed.

Storing & Chatting

After purchase, carefully empty seed potato contents into shallow boxes or trays; egg boxes or apple trays are ideal. Keep away from frost and store in a cool area. Six weeks before you want to plant your early potatoes you should move your potatoes into a light area of about 10 degrees Celsius to produce a strong, thick sprout, making sure that the potatoes are rose eye upwards. The potatoes will turn green when exposed to the light but do not worry as this is normal. If you wish to grow large potatoes you can carefully cut out some of the eyes on the potatoes so that only a few chits are formed and the potato will produce larger but fewer tubers. If you wish to grow many small tubers to eat like baby potatoes then leave all the eyes intact and plant the potatoes at half the distances.
