Cultivation Tips
• Soil requirements: Plant in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid compacted soils so tubers can expand easily.
• Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for best yields.
• Planting: Plant seed potatoes in early to mid-spring once soil can be worked. Larger potatoes may be cut into pieces with at least one eye each before planting.
• Spacing: Plant seed pieces about 12 inches apart in rows spaced 30–36 inches apart.
• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during tuber formation.
• Hilling: As plants grow, mound soil around stems to protect developing potatoes from sunlight and increase yields.
• Mulching: Mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
