dutch potatos
Could anyone advise me where I can get tubers (or whatever) for the dutch
variety of potatos, maybe Knipfler or something like that - longish, yellow in colour, waxy and very very tasty - in Melbourne. Is there a nursery which specializes in less common vegies? I haven't seen anything locally. BTW I'm not really sure about the name, I just remember them as Dutch potatos. Also, does soil type matter when growing these? We have very alkaline soil in my area (but lots of compost too). TIA Yvonne. |

Diggers Club - in Melbourne. On web? for other seeds, look for seed suppliers in the two organic/green magazines at newsagents, Also, does soil type matter when growing these? We have very alkaline soil in my area (but lots of compost too). Split your first bag of tubers into different soil types/mixtures and see. Ours didn't do as well this year and we think it was the heat. |
