Potato Planting Instructions;
Cut whole potatoes into pieces for large or into quarters for small being
careful to include an "eye" on each piece.
Dust cut pieces with dusting sulfur to help prevent rotting and let skin form
a "crust" at least 24 hours before planting
Add soft rock phosphate (10lbs/100' or 1lb/10') and organic matter
throughout the trench
Plant pieces 12-18 inches apart and about 8" deep initially
As sprouts appear and grow, begin to hill up with compost, light soil or even
leaves or non-coastal hay to cover all but the tops of the sprouts, to increase
yield (coastal hay may contain bermuda grass seeds!) Some gardeners on a
small scale use large wire cages to mound hills on top of the sprouts and keep
more compact, but this is not necessary.
Most varieties take about 3 months to fully mature, but you can always dig up
"new" potatoes earlier after flowering of plants and small potatoes form -
Caution; The sprouts/stems and green portions of the newly dug potato can be
toxic - do not eat them! Let green potatoes cure first.
Plant 1#/10' for aprox. 10# yield
