PotatoPot
- makes it easier to grow your own potatoes.
How to plant:
- Plant 3 seed potatoes in sphagnum peat moss in the inner pot, which is placed in the outer pot. Place the 3 seed potatoes in the centre with approx. 10 cm distance and in the middle of the height of the pot.
- Water regularly with fertilized water – preferably daily.
- Observe the development by lifting the inner pot out of the outer pot.
- After approx. 8 weeks you can harvest your own new potatoes from PotatoPot®.
- The plant will continue to produce new potatoes – right up until the arrival of the first frost.
- A fun and tasty delight for the whole family.
Tips:
- You can benefit from pre-sprouting seed potatoes by placing them e.g. in a bright window at approx. 20°C. This can be done from February 1st. By pre-sprouting seed potatoes you can harvest after approx. 8 weeks – without pre-sprouting you must expect 2 extra weeks.
- Use a full-fertilized sphagnum peat moss.
- After planting the seed potatoes remember to water them thoroughly, and place the PotatoPot® in a warm and bright location. Cover the pot with e.g. plexiglas or plastic sheet until the potatoes sprout.
- The process can be started in a green house but once the potatoes have sprouted they must be moved outdoor.
- Potatoes can not withstand frost.
- The plants can be trimmed to approx. 25 cm in the height if they become lanky.
