Potato Grow Pot - Pack of 3

Growing instructions:

• Place the inner pot in the outer pot and half fill with a multi-purpose compost. (Do not use a soil based compost such as John Innes).

• Place 3 seed potatoes about 10cm apart in line with the openings on the inner pot.

• Cover the potatoes with more compost to within 2-3cm of the top of the pot. Water thoroughly and place the Potato Pot in a warm and bright location.

• Continue to water regularly, adding a balanced, general purpose liquid feed from 4 weeks after emergence.

• After approx. 10 weeks you can begin harvesting your own new potatoes.

• To harvest, lift the inner pot and carefully remove the larger tubers. Replace the inner pot, leaving more to grow. Harvest again in 10-14 days!

Tips:
• You can start harvesting up to 2 weeks earlier by pre-sprouting, or ‘chitting’ the seed potatoes. Place them in a light, frost free location with the bud end upwards. Egg boxes are ideal for this as it stops the potatoes falling over. This can be done from February.

• The process can be started in a greenhouse but once the potatoes have sprouted they should be moved outdoors.

• Potatoes cannot withstand frost. If there is a chance of frost, move the pot indoors overnight, or cover with Envirofleece 30g or a Plant Cosie.

• Use ‘early’ or salad potato varieties.

• Re-plant in August for a Christmas crop!
