Planting Potatoes

When planting your Morton Smith-Dawe Seed Potatoes in planter bags you will need some plain soil and low ph compost (as some compost can be to rich or strong).

Start by mixing a 50/50 blend of soil and compost. Fill approx 1/3 of the planter bag with the soil and compost mix.

Place 1 sprouted seed potato in middle of bag then cover with approx 5cm of soil and compost mix. Lightly sprinkle with Morton Smith-Dawe High Grade Potato Fertiliser. As the potato is growing top up the bag with soil and compost mix until bag is full.

Watering

To start you will need to water until the soil and compost mix is damp and then approx 1 or 2 cups of water every 3 or 4 days to keep the soil moist if has not rained.

Where to place bag
