HOW TO PLANT & SPACE IRISH POTATOES FOR MAXIMUM YIELD!

1. START WITH HIGH-QUALITY SEED POTATOES: Use certified seed potatoes that are free from diseases and viruses. Cut the seed potatoes into 1-2 inch pieces, making sure each piece has at least two eyes.

2. PREPARE YOUR SOIL: Irish potatoes grow best in loose, well-draining soil with a pH between 5.0-6.0. Add organic matter, such as compost or manure, to improve soil fertility and texture.

3. PLANT YOUR SEEDS POTATOES: Dig furrows or trenches that are 4-6 inches deep, spaced 2-3 feet apart. Place the seed potatoes in the furrows, eye-side up, with about 12 inches between each seed potato.

4. COVER THE SEED POTATOES WITH SOIL: Cover the seed potatoes with 3-4 inches of soil. As the potato plants grow, gradually add more soil until the trenches are filled.

5. PROVIDE ADEQUATE WATER & NUTRIENTS: Irish potatoes need consistent moisture and nutrients throughout the growing season. Water your plants regularly and fertilize them with a balanced fertilizer at planting and during the growing season.

6. HILL YOUR POTATOES: As your potato plants grow, mound soil around the stems to cover any exposed tubers. This will prevent the potatoes from turning green and increase yield.
