Thanks Dwayne and Len,

I appreciate the advice! I just recieved a seed catalogue in the mail and
might have to order some certified organic seed spuds just for the job I
reckon ... I don't like the sound of infecting my soil - although, I might
not be able to resist putting a few store bought spudlies down as a
comparison!

What size plot do you need (at what spacing) for a decent return of spuds
for a family of ... wait for it, ... two! lol I only have a small suburban
block too by the way, so space is limited!

Cheers again,
Mick

g'day mick,

basically yes mate, but there could be some variables ie.,. the spuds
that conventional farmers grow could be a hybrid which may not produce
as well from a seed potato like that, then the general advice is that
we should buy certified disease free seed potatoes so we don't infest
our soil should we end up with diseased potatoes.

ther are lots however that grow from budding potatoes or shop potatoes
if you bought from an organic shop i think you'll do ok.

no dumb questions only silly answers huh lol, just keep asking them
the questions that is.
