How to Sow
- Start chitting potatoes in egg boxes in the sun until shoot stems appear
- For soil beds, dig trenches approx 4-5 inches deep, with deeper areas for larger potatoes
- Space potatoes apart approx 30cm in rows approx 40-50cm apart
- Gently place each potato with the shoots facing upward
Plant Care
- Once the shoots appear, bury the bottom of the stem up until the leaves
- Continue this process as the potato shoots grow taller
- By the end of the season, each plant should have a mound of soil at its base approx 6 inches high
AllotMe’s Tips
- The chitting potatoes are ready to be planted when the root stems are approx 3cm long
- To grow larger potatoes, only leave one or two stems on the potato before planting
