Potato problem
« on: September 04, 2012, 14:59 »
Hi all - other than low yields of my spuds this year i have loads that have deep grooves in them. I know it must have something to do with the bad season but can anyone give me a good answer..

Thanks as always. GJC

This is probably due to excessive rainfall after the dry spell.
