Prefer sunny position, prepare bed deeply at least 25cm down, soil should be friable to avoid odd shaped potatoes.
Sow in 10cm deep furrows with 25 cm between tubers and 75cm between rows. Fertilise well.
Tubers can be cut to make more planting pieces, be sure each piece has an eye or sprout.
This batch is already sprouting so should be planted immediately upon arrival.
