I planted Potatoes about three weeks ago and they are starting to sprout. I dug up some Potatoes a few days ago from a different planter and was disappointed with the yield. I hope this container does better.
I used two 100 gram Potatoes and cut them up around the eyes that started to sprout. A good harvest should yield between 1 Kg (2.2 lbs) to 1.4 Kg (3 lbs). It takes Potatoes 2 to four months to mature, depending on the weather, and I'll know when to harvest when the stock dies away. I sometimes leave the Potatoes in the ground until I need them for as much as a month after the stock dies away. They stay fresher that way.
