Growing Instructions:

Plant maincrop potatoes from March. Before planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (around 10°C / 50°F) to allow them to sprout.

When growing maincrop potatoes in the ground, avoid planting in soil where potatoes have been grown for two consecutive years to reduce the risk of disease. Select a sheltered location with full sun and moist, well-drained soil, and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes in rows, spacing them 45cm (18") apart, with rows set out 75cm (2', 6") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4") deep trenches and backfill with soil. Once the shoots reach 20cm (8"), mound soil around them, leaving just a few centimetres exposed. Repeat this earthing-up process after another three weeks.

For those with limited space, consider growing potatoes in bags. Fill an 8-litre potato bag with good quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure, leaving some room at the top. Carefully plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots pointing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5") from the soil surface. Position the bags in a sunny area and water regularly to keep the compost moist.

Following these guidelines will help you enjoy a bountiful harvest of Record Seed Potatoes, perfect for creating the ultimate chips, roasties, and more!
