  • how far apart do i plant seed potatoes?

    Have a mixture of earlies, second earlies and maincrop seed potatoes, want to be able to earth them up, question is.
    How far apart should the rows be? and how many to a row?, the rows will be 10 feet long and cover the width of the plot. THANKS GUYS
    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown

    24 inches is the recommended gap between rows.

    12 inches between earlies in a row and 16 inches for main crop.

      I only grow earlies. 12" apart and about 18" between the rows. I always feel that planting distances are suggestions rather than rules!

          That's a heck of a lot of compost! But if you get good results then it's probably worth it. I'm going to be putting in an early row soon

            Last year I put about 3 or 4 in one of those clay pots and the results were good.
