Grow your own potato

Potatoes
Spuds need plenty of room to grow, so give each plant half a metre of growingspace. Planting should be timed so the seed potatoes shoot after thelast frost. Harvest most varieties of long keeping potatoes once theplant stems have died down. However, new potatoes such as Pinkeyes,should be harvested a month or so earlier, or when big enough to eat.
Iuse 2 methods for growing potatoes. The first is the traditional methodof growing in the soil, the second is the no dig method of growingunder straw.

Planting in soilDigin plenty of organic matter to a spade depth and plant your seedpotatoes about 10cm deep, with a half metre space between each plant.
Shoots should emerge within a few weeks. As they grow taller, hill the soil uparound them or mulch heavily right up to the stem. It's important toprevent sunlight from reaching the growing potatoes or they will turngreen and are then inedible. So, keep hilling the soil and/or mulching.
Avoid saturating the soil. Spuds will rot in very wet soil.
Under strawPotatoes can be grown directly on any lawn or weed infested patch of earth when using this method.
Firstcover the growing area with a layer of manure. Dampen the manure andcarefully cover it with a thick layer of wet newspaper, being carefulto overlap the newspaper pages. This should prevent perennial weedslike couch grass from creeping through any gaps. However, if any weedsdo manage to get through, cover them with more newspaper and mulch.You've just ensured the demise of the weeds or lawn.
Placethe seed potatoes about half a metre apart directly on top of thenewspaper and cover with a generous layer of straw. Spread a layer ofmanure, blood and bone and any other available useful organic matterover the straw. Then another layer of straw, more manure and so onuntil the straw is about 40cm deep. Water well.
The straw layer should be topped up as it thins, and as the plants grow taller. Make sure no sunlight reaches your crop.
Thismethod is fantastic to use if you have a patch of lawn you'd like todevelop for growing useful plants. If you don't have enough room in thebackyard, use the front yard. You'll find that harvesting your cropunder straw is a pleasure. There's no digging and your crop will benice and clean.
Thecrop should be spread out in a sheltered spot for a few hours, somoisture on the skin dissipates. Don't leave the crop in full sun forhours but make sure they are not damp prior to storing. Store cleanspuds in hessian bags in a dry, cool and dark place.

The most important part is the starchy root. It cannot be eaten raw,but when cooked it develops a distinctive flavor and aroma that havebeen described as "a delicate blend of celery, cabbage and roastchestnuts".
