Before planting, 'chit' the seed potatoes by setting them out in a cool, bright position (around 10°C \/ 50°F) to allow them to sprout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen growing second early potatoes in the ground, avoid planting in soil where potatoes have grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare a sheltered position in full sun with moist, well-drained soil, incorporating plenty of well-rotted manure. Space seed potatoes 37cm (15\") apart in rows set out 75cm (2', 6\") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4\") deep trenches and backfill the soil to refill the trenches. Once shoots reach 20cm (8\"), mound soil around them, leaving just a few centimetres visible. Repeat this process after three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf space is limited, consider growing potatoes in bags. Fill an 8-litre potato bag with quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure, leaving some space at the top. Carefully plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots facing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5\") from the soil surface. Place the bags in a sunny location and water regularly to keep the compost moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following these simple steps, you'll soon be enjoying a bountiful harvest of Charlotte Seed Potatoes! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJamieson Brothers Seed Potatoes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Click Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52886364881120,"sku":"OCP00487-BUL-0L-H10-X1","price":5.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.carouselstore.co.uk\/products\/charlotte-seed-potatoes-2kg","provider":"Carousel Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
