2 potato's together at once
« on: April 02, 2007, 17:02:30 »
I saw someone on TV planting 2 potato's together instead of singly when planting out. Does anyone else do this and is there an advantage or disadvantage?

You will get more potatoes per station but I am not sure if you will get twice as many potatoes as you would planting them singly!

Less space needed but less crop back...

Some people do this when you have tiny little seed potatoes
