How do you grow top qualty Marforna potatoes?
As the Man said, "
Well I would not start here"
Yes I should have had them planted earlier & should have got them treated with Rhino powder.
But what else? we can sell them, but quite hard to grow prone to been hollow & the slugs love'em.
I've planted at 10 inch spacing & intend to give them a foliar leaf feed at tuber initation to get as many tubers as possible, have gone easy on the fertiliser but will top up if required (ie lots of rain causing leaching) Little & often with the slug pellets & on standby to dessicate when required.
