The first year we had our plot, we planted up around a quarter of it with a bag of supermarket spuds, not knowing the possible downsides of using these: we had an amazing crop of decent sized potatoes, but I have to say that the varieties we now choose to grow, as well as being disease free, are much more tasty  :D :D
