I've just got to ask. Why would one bother to chit potatoes? By that
I mean what are the advantages of chitting over not chitting them.

If I recall, last year or the one before, on Gardeners' World they did
a trial to see if chitting gave a better crop.

That would make sense of the fact that Jersey farmers always chit their
Jersey Royals which are, of course, some of the earliest around.

And the best tasting of all!
