Default Storing seed potatoes

One potato to each cell so if there is any rot it wont get transmitted

I guess you're using plastic egg boxes then. Poke a little hole in the lid in the centre of each cell. Otherwise moisture gets trapped and you will get rot. Only a little hole needed, but you need that bit of ventilation.

(Yep, it's me. I do look in occasionally from the other side of the bay.)
