Plant seed potatoes
Plant out seed potatoes or grow them in containers for tasty homegrown spuds. Fill the first third of the pot with compost and put no more than three seed potatoes on the surface, just cover with more compost then water.
If planting in beds, add general fertiliser or composted manure to the bottom of a 15cm deep trench. Make rows about 60cm apart for earlier varieties and 75cm for longer grown maincrop varieties. Stand the seed potatoes along the trench, 30cm apart. As soon as the shoots start to show, cover them with more earth, or compost in the pot. Keep watering, adding more compost or pulling earth up around the new shoots as it is in the soil, just above the original tuber, that your new crop will be growing.
