Tips for Growing Potatoes in Pots

• 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 garden fleece.

• Use ‘early’ or salad potato varieties.

• Re-plant in August for a Christmas crop.

How To Use

• Place the inner pot in the outer pot and half fill with a multi-purpose compost. • 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.
