How can I stop warty growths on ‘Anya’ potatoes?

Q

- KEITH DUDLEY, BY EMAIL

AScab is a common problem if the soil has a high pH (alkaline). Potatoes are best grown in an acidic soil. Dryness during the growing season can also make the problem worse.

Look out for scab-resistant seed potatoes such as ‘Accent’, ‘Arran

Pilot’ or

‘Pentland Crown’.
