Title: Seed potatos
Post by: anna on January 17, 2004, 06:58:24

What's the difference between seed potatoes and the ones that you can buy to eat?

Just wondering as my tatties always start sprouting before I can eat them all, and it would be nice to be able to use them ....

If you're willing to accept the risk of disease, then although it's not 'good practice', your own, or s/market pots, do just as well.  = Tim
