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 maincrop potatoes in the ground, avoid planting in soil where potatoes have been grown for two years in succession to reduce the risk of disease. Prepare the planting area in a sheltered position with full sun on moist, well-drained soil, and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes in rows, spacing them 45cm (18\") apart with rows set out 75cm (2', 6\") apart. Place the seed potatoes into 10cm (4\") deep trenches and cover with soil. When the shoots reach 20cm (8\"), mound soil around them, leaving just a few centimetres exposed. Repeat this earthing-up process after another three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf space is limited, consider growing potatoes in bags. Fill an 8-litre potato bag with high-quality compost mixed with well-rotted manure, leaving some space at the top. Carefully plant a single chitted tuber with the shoots pointing upwards at a depth of 12cm (5\") from the soil surface. Position the bags in a sunny spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following these steps, you'll enjoy a fantastic harvest of Picasso Seed Potatoes, perfect for creating a variety of delicious dishes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJamieson Brothers Seed Potatoes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One Click Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52886361702624,"sku":"OCP00476-BUL-0L-H10-X1","price":5.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.carouselstore.co.uk\/products\/picasso-seed-potatoes-2kg","provider":"Carousel Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
