Tip of the Month

Helpful hints for growing your own potatoes

Seed: Always use healthy certified seed potatoes.
Timing: Plant into warm soil after frost risk has passed.
Planting: Potatoes are easy! They will yield a worthwhile crop under a wide range of conditions. Planting distances are usually between 12-15 inches apart, about 3 inches deep. Maincrops need more room than the Earlies.
Growing: Earth up the rows 2 or 3 times to provide enough soil cove to prevent tubers greening. Control blight if required.
Harvesting: Earlies are ready 9-12 weeks from planting. Main crops take 14 weeks or more to mature.
