I always dab the cut end of my seed potatoes in wood ash or allow them a couple days to callous over so they're sealed. I've heard this helps prevent disease. Good luck!
I have wood ash and today may be the only beautiful day forecasted in awhile. I may try this, thanks Darin!
Here’s a small potato from last year’s harvest that didn’t make it to the dinner table. Do I plant this creature sideways so as not to disrupt the sprout or do I trim it down before burying it?
When you cut the potatoes into smaller areas for planting, do you need to allow the exposed flesh to dry before planting? I’ve read some about that for minimizing fungus and such but I usually don’t plan ahead far enough in advance of good weather to get this done. I wondered if I could cut them and plant them immediately with the exposed side still fresh?
