Nearly everyone loves a great spud and why not?....... high in fiber, rich in vitamin B and C, packed with more protein and iron than any other vegetable, potatoes are a key ingredient to nearly everyone's diet, they are a mountain of fun to grow and it just got easier.
Gone are the days when you are forced to accept a bag of seed potatoes by weight. BulbsDirect have been counting flower bulbs for years, and we thought it was about time that you could have the opportunity to buy a bag of seed potatoes and know exactly how many you are going to take home - regardless of the weight.
Certified, NZ Grown Seed Potatoes... nothing beats them!
Preparing your seed potatoes
- You should aim to have brought your preferred seed potatoes up to 6 weeks before planting... this is to allow them to begin to sprout (called chitting)
- Always use certified, virus free seed potatoes to ensure you get great results.
- It's important not to plant out your Seed Potatoes until after the risk of frosts have ended (alternatively if you're super eager, the use of Frost cloth can do the trick )
- Store your seed Potatoes in a nice dry area until theyΒ produce shoots between 2 β 4 cm long (storing in an egg container is our wee hack!)
