Hi, my son is moving house and has given us a paper sack (25kg) of

potatoes
which have started to sprout. Rather than toss them away, I was thinking

of
planting some of them in a spare piece of ground I've got. Will this

present
any problems?I'm not too bothered about getting a crop, although that

would
be a bonus. I don't know which variety they are as they aren't labelled.
Alternatively, if there are problems associated with growing them, could I
compost them?

regards,

David


Why compost them?

Do as you suggest plant them, what have you lose?

OR

Rub the chits off and eat them!!

My Mother in Law bought a sack of spuds, got half way through them and then
popped her clogs :-))))

When we emptied the bungalow, these spuds were chitting. Rubbed the chits
off and cooked them :-)))))
