How many spuds..
« on: February 15, 2019, 17:53 »
Hi everyone,

I have some large round tubs approx 60x 35cm- how many main crop spuds could I grow per tub? I’m  growing some Charlotte in the ground but no space for main crop- I’ve got some Desiree and Sarto mira. Thanks

30L pots grow 2 seed potatoes, so my suggestion would be measure how many litres it holds... I suspect yours is about 70L  :wacko: but my math just went haywire trying to work it out  :lol: :lol:

I make it about 85L filled to 2" (5cm) from the top, so I'd be looking at putting in at least 4,  possibly 5.
