How to Grow Potatoes from Start to Finish (Including My Grandad’s Storage Method)

Описание: See how to grow potatoes from start to finish, explained clearly in just a few minutes. This guide covers chitting, choosing the right varieties, spacing and earthing‑up techniques that boost your yield.
These slides walk through the whole process step by step — from selecting First Earlies, Second Earlies and Main Crop potatoes to planting, container growing, harvesting without damaging the crop, and the best ways to dry and store your spuds so they last longer.
The final section explains the traditional storage method my grandad used — the old‑fashioned potato clamp made from straw and soil. It’s simple, effective, and still one of the best ways to keep potatoes through winter. Everything is presented in a clean, easy‑to‑follow slide format.
