Reply To: Space between potato rows – maximising yield per plant vs per square metre….

[John]

I ran into some difficulties today due to lack of space and poor plot measurements. So today I squeezed the last of my seed potatoes in. Gatsby and Foxton were the last two and had to go beside my 1st and 2nd early potatoes. Spacing did grab me hard…main crop normally 75 cm between rows do for the last few potatoes, the row spacing was 60cm for part of the final row. A few years ago, I had about 24 varieties of potatoes but (over worked and slight measurement problems in terms of depth saw a poor survival due to seriously cold weather for the early varieties of which there were 7 types. This year, I have 19 types. 2 first and 1 second early and 16 main crop. Small quantities 🌝.
