Potatoes remain one of the most popular and productive crops grown by amateur and professional alike, and continue to be a staple part of most diets.
Potatoes can be grown in almost any soil type, and are ideal for ‘cleaning up’ previously uncropped land. Potatoes can also be grown in containers.
Potato types:
First Earlies: chitting essential; plant mid to late March at a depth of 10cm, spaced 30cm in row and 45cm between rows; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in June and July when the first flowers appear.
Second Earlies: chitting essential; plant early to mid April, space as per First Earlies; harvest as ‘new’ potatoes in July and August when the first flowers appear.
Salad: treat as per First Earlies.
Maincrop: chitting beneficial but not essential; plant mid to late April at a depth of 10cm, spaced 38cm in row and 68cm between rows; harvest between August and October when the foliage dies back; can be stored.
Cultivation terms:
Chitting: when delivered lay tubers out in tray with rose end (most eyes) uppermost. Keep in frost free, light room until sprouts form (normally after 6 weeks).
Earthing-up: when the haulm (foliage) is approximately 20cm tall draw up soil around stem to form a flat ridge. Earthing-up improves drainage and growing environment for the plant giving a much improved yield. Earthing-up is also essential for reducing greening.
All our tubers are produced in Scotland and are certified by DEFRA as reaching the high quality standards required to be classified as 'Certified Seed Potatoes'.
Please note that due to marketing and trade agreements not all varieties of potato can be shipped outside of the UK, please contact us for further details.
