Plant chitted early potatoes from the middle of March if the weather is fine and the soil has begun to warm up in your area.
Add a light sprinkling of Potato Fertiliser or Organic Extra to your trench before you begin to plant. Handle tubers gently so you don’t damage the shoots and plant with shoots uppermost. Cover with soil and as soon as the new growth appears begin to earth up, covering the emerging shoots as they grow until they are just covered each time. Keep mounding up in this way until you have a good ridge and there is no more chance of a frost to damage the new leaves.
