Storing potatoes

Not a lot unfortunately, apart for moving them to a cooler place. The absurdly warm weather has started a lot of things growing when really they shouldn't.

I would have thought the spuds would be fine in a closed garage as unless there is a mega severe frost or weather like last year.

Your cellar is certainly too warm to store potatoes long term, you need to return them to the garage, but with the temperatures we are experiencing at the moment, even out there they may continue to sprout.

We buy potatoes by the 25 kg sack and they stay in our garage with just a few being brought indoors just before consumption.

It would take a severe prolonged frost to affect potatoes in a garage, as you can insulate the bags with other materials.

 whats said is basically correct i store our potatoes in our greenhouse on a pallet so there off the ground the greenhouse is rat and mice proof some are  in paper and some in hessian bags

i cover with old hessian sacks leaving space for ventilation if it gets very frosty i cover up an old thick carpet if its a good crop like this year they should last us till about March

i find its best to check the bags of potatoes periodically for bad ones and strip all the shoots off when they start shooting also i grade my Tate's small ones in bags and large ones separately in bags the very small discard
