JBA Saxon Seed Potatoes 2kg

SOIL PREPARATION:

• Sandy loam soils are ideal for growing potatoes. These soils can be enriched with organic matter to aid water retention and provide suitable nutrition for the potatoes.
• Heavy clay soils can be improved by adding sharp sand and lots of organic matter in the autumn. This allows the new soil mixture to be exposed to frost, which helps break up the soil structure and makes it easier to work with.
• If you cannot get organic matter you can add compost to the area you wish to plant your potatoes in.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Each potato should be 35cm from the next, with rows spaced 70cm apart. Always make sure the eyes are facing upwards. Drills should be 15cm deep.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Water well in dry spells.

HARVESTING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Harvest June-July. Dig up mature potatoes and store them in a cool, dry and dark location. Potatoes can be stored for several months. Tip: when harvesting, remove all foliage and small potatoes from the soil and discard, them to avoid diseases on next year’s crop.

Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting. Keep free from frost.

Grown from cultivated stock.
