potato yield
just been to look at the seed potatoes that are currently chitting and
decided that I don't have enough ground to plant them all plus the other things I want to grow. so what I am after is a rough estimate on the yield per seed potato for rocket and maris piper, then I can guestimate how many plants I will need. hope this makes sense. paul. |

potato yield
"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "Paul" contains these words: just been to look at the seed potatoes that are currently chitting and decided that I don't have enough ground to plant them all plus the other things I want to grow. so what I am after is a rough estimate on the yield per seed potato for rocket and maris piper, then I can guestimate how many plants I will need. That depends how they are grown. Spuds given plenty of space in very fertile ground and ideal growing conditions, will produce a higher yield than those grown in more crowded conditions. But does it really matter if, from the same area, 10 spaced out plants produce 20 spuds each (total 200) or 20 crowded plants produce 10 spuds each (total 200) ? Janet. Shame on you Janet. You will shortly be ejected from the Clan MacTight. Twice the cost of sowing --is that not a problem? Suppose you lot up there have become very profligate with money since you found oil and have more water than the rest of the world:-) |
