Have you ever tasted home grown potatoes? Some say there is no comparison to store bought potatoes. Home grown potatoes are fresher. more flavorful and healthier for you. A small number of seed potatoes will yield a few buckets of potatoes ready to eat and enjoy and can even be stored throughout the winter months.Potatoes must have well-drained. moisture retentive. fertile soil that is high in organic matter and a pH between 5.0 and 6.0. Do not use a lime soil. the soil should be slightly acid. To prevent disease problems. do not plant potatoes in the same bed as tomatoes. Potatoes should be rotated on a 3 year program.
