Cultivation Tips
Soil requirements: Plant in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid compacted soils so tubers can expand easily.
Sunlight: Full sun (68+ hours daily) for best yields.
Planting: Plant seed potatoes in early to mid-spring once soil can be worked. Larger potatoes may be cut into pieces with at least one eye each before planting.
Spacing: Plant seed pieces about 12 inches apart in rows spaced 3036 inches apart.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially during tuber formation.
Hilling: As plants grow, mound soil around stems to protect developing potatoes from sunlight and increase yields.
Mulching: Mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
