Planting Yukon Gold Potatoes
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?AIAPG 18 April 2013 Planting Yukon Gold Potatoes
Nineteen Yukon Gold tubers were planted at 14 inch centres in the row and the rows are 20 inches apart.Depth is about five inches in a trench, and the tubers are covered with about three inches of soil. Each tuber was marked with a wooden sick. No more fibre rods left. This facilitates digging, and established a focus point when watering using the Magic Water Wand. As the potatoes grow they will be hilled and mulch will be added. Expectation is six pounds per plant. These tubers were quality purchased seed potatoes. |
