Hi all, I'm fairly new to potato-growing. I wonder if anyone can
advise how many spuds I should plant to feed myself only? I tend to
eat about one medium-sized spud a day, on average. So far, I have
planted 56 (4 different harvesting times). My soil is rather clayey
and hasn't been cultivated much but I did dig in some compost. It's
still a bit sticky but probably full of nutrients.

Thanks,

Al

Sounds about right to me 56, and i'm guessing you have first and
second earlies among them. If you have I think you will find that you
will eat them as fast as they are ready, they are sooo tasty when
homegrown and freshly dug.

I'm looking forward to that! It'll be nice knowing that they have been
grown organically too: No hormones, no pesticides, no questionable
chemicals. It'll be very interesting to see what sort of quality of veggies
this less-than-ideal soil produces.
