And another daft question. Following on from advice earlier about
planting distances I now have some maincrop spuds in. But someone
commented (and I've seen in books as wel) that the distances can be
closer for earlies - WHY? What's the difference? Is it the size of the
final product or what?

Thanks

(will probably be equally naive questions to follow during this season,
but it's good being able to ask questions that the books don't answer,
even if you do sometimes get varying opinion)
