hi all, i was reading a garden book and i said to chit (pregerminate - grow shoots ) our potatoes after christmas, so my questions are :
when will all you start,
how will you do this, (ie) egg boxes- seed trays, netbags etc, etc, etc
where: place them in a potting shed, greenhouse, windowsill, etc, etc,
when do you plant them after they have chitted (grow green shoots)
