| Chit (which basically means allowing your spuds to sprout!) your potato tubers in a cool, light place from January onwards approximately 6 weeks before planting out. |
| Once your seed potatoes have 3 growing eyes (sprouting shoots) plant out from late March to early May. Protect foliage from frosts with a fleece. |
|
Plant in trenches 30cm apart, 10cm deep. If using a potato grow bag, fill the grow bag with 15-20cm of vegetable growing compost and place 3 tubers per bag. Cover potato seeds with 5-10cm of compost. Place the bag in full or partial sun and water regularly. |
|
Once the leaves starts to grow in the trenches, earth up the soil around the foliage to improve drainage and yield. If using a potato grow bag keep topping up the compost to cover the green foliage and repeat this process every few weeks until the soil has reached the top of the grow bag. |
| Harvest when the foliage has died down or from July to October (approximately 5 months after they were planted out). |
