I'm gonna plant them again this year. I've had problems in years past with
the seed potatoes rotting in the ground instead of growing. I've heard this
can be prevented by treating or dusting the seed taters with something
first,
I've heard that wood ashes or sulfur will work. Any other ideas?

A tip from an old gardening book is: If you cut the seed potatoes two
or three days before you plant them, they will dry enough to form a
sort of skin or scab before too much sprouting occurs. This will help
prevent the potato piece from rotting in too-moist soil. -aem
