Advice & Tips:

• Dig over the area you wish to plant your potatoes, removing any weeds.
• Create shallow ridges in the ground approximately 60cm apart, planting the seed potatoes into the ridge approximately 12cm deep and 22cm apart.
• When the plants have grown to approximately 20cm in height, draw soil up around the lower leaves to protect the newly forming potatoes
• For an earlier harvest, potatoes can be chitted before planting - to do this, place the seed potatoes into an open container, such as an egg box, and leave in a light and airy position, protected from frost, to allow the potatoes to grow small shoots. Be careful not to damage the chits when planting into the ground.
