How to store Potatoes:
How to store your potatoes so that they will last you through the winter:
A lot of growers will not bother with growing potatoes, however I do for two reasons.
- Because I can choose what verity I grow.
- Potatoes are a very important crop to grow in your rotation.
There are three important reason to store your potatoes:
- Protect them from the frost.
- Protect them from rodents.
- Protect them from the light.
The three items above is what you have to do. I keep mine in a metal dustbin in my shed with an old blanket around it.
This has been successful for the last seven winters.
Word of warning: only put in your store perfect potatoes i.e none with cuts or holes in them.
