Product Information

Keep the soil in the containers or bags damp and don’t let it dry out. Make sure you don’t overwater them, especially if it’s raining a lot. Adding organic matter, such as mulch, will improve the water retention of your soil, as well as also adding nutrients for your plants. To find out more information about the sizes available please look table of measurement below.

Please note the above guide is for illustration purposes only and are not sized proportionally to one another. As a rough guide, first early potatoes take 12 weeks to be ready for harvesting, second earlies take around 15 and main crop usually take 20 weeks. The harvesting time does vary depending on the weather, your location and the care you have given them. The good thing with containers is you can usually dig a little hole in the compost and try feel if there are any potatoes ready. The sizing is estimated but this will give a guideline and we have used a garden spade to show the scale referenceBefore covering the potatoes in compost you may want to add some fertiliser to help the potatoes grow. There are a lot of fertilisers around (some organic, some not) that you can use for potatoes. I use Envii Seafeed Xtra, it’s organic and it’s amazing.

Usually about a week from planting you will see the green tips coming through the compost. As these shoots begin to grow you can add more soil potting to your container until it’s full. Always leave the tips of the leaves showing through the new soil level. Caring For Your Potatoes While potatoes that are infected by scabs don’t look very nice, they are still edible, just peel them and enjoy.Crop rotation is very important with potato plants, because the spores can overwinter in the soil and infect next year’s potato plants. Include tomato plants in your crop rotation as they are also affected by blight. To chit your seed potatoes, put them in an empty egg box and place them on the window sill in the sun. After a week or two, they will develop sprouts. Once they have sprouted, you can plant them out. Another disease that can affect potatoes are potato scabs. There are two varieties, common scab which is caused by bacteria and powdery scab, which is a fungal disease. Scabs are only visible on the tubers.

Eating potatoes from the supermarket might also be treated with certain chemicals to prevent them from sprouting, which will render them unusable for growing.Dimensions: 59.5cm diameter top, 42.8cm diameter base and 48cm depth. Internal top diameter 55cm. Capacity: 90 litres. To grow potatoes in containers successfully, you need the right pot. To get started, I recommend you begin with a 40 litre pot, these are the perfect size for planting 4 or 5 seed potatoes (depending on the variety) in. From a pot like this you can harvest a very worthwhile crop just 10 weeks from planting. Slightly larger than a 2L, we generally use these for our garden centre plants and some amenity lines. There is no cure for this disease, once a plant is affected, destroy it and all the potatoes that might be in the soil.
