I was thrilled with my Nadine potato harvest and cleaned the spuds up, sorting into med/large and then smaller ones and stored in hessian sacks. I used some of the large ones yesterday and found that even though the outside looked perfect once cut into the centres are rotten some having a cavity :'( :'(. What have I done wrong?
Wireworm can be a nasty potato pest.

Wouldn't there be a hole on the outside if it was wireworm?
Here's stuff on potato rot from the RHS:

Quite often its due to a sudden increase in water - heavy rain etc.. I dont thinks its a disease. Some of mine are the same, normally the effects biggest ones too.
That sounds promising Keef :) thanks
