Seed potato questions
« on: December 27, 2006, 16:54 »
Hi all,

Hope your all having an excellent Christmas.

Two quick newbie  questions:

I'm thinking of ordering from T&M soon for next year, but when is the best time to order seed potatoes?

How long can seed potatoes be stored?

Cheers!

 :)

order them now mate and when you get them put them in trays to chit somewhere frost free but not to much light,a shed is ideal,in a cold room in the house or garage.
i keep mine in one of those cheap poly greenhouse thingys it has 4 shelves and keep it in the shed.
if they dont get a bit of light the shoots go leggy and and are easily broken.

have a look at this site
