Can I compost all the small potatoes that I have this year, without them
sprouting up like weeds where I apply the compost? My wife refuses to
peel the marble sized ones, let alone the pea sizes! :-) Potatoes
growing where they were planted the previous year is pain enough without
exacerbating the problem.

But those are the best kind! When they're the very early new potatoes
coming up tiny, they're called chats in Jersey. Don't even think of peeling
them. Roast them with rosemary and coarse salt. Wonderful!

These are main crop potatoes, of which this year I have lots of small
ones, I know earlies are delightful when small, but does this also apply
to main crop?
