In Saturdays Daily Mail weekend magazine Monty Don states that they did an
experiment at the Gardeners World garden and that they found whilst chitting
earlies increased the crop there was no significant difference between
chitting and non chitting of main crop.
However I ask the question can I still plant my soft Sante potatoes -
although I have grown veggies at home for some 11 years or so I don't want
to plant diseased potatoes in my new allotment of 6 months!
