Hi,

Had a few questions regarding different varieties of potatoes.

Have a look at the British Potato Council Database here http://varieties.potato.org.uk/menu.php? which is a really good source of info on varieties, diseases etc etc.

Thanks

Hi,

Parcelforce 48 would be £6.50 per bag (mainland UK) , or if you needed more a pallet could be arranged, or you could collect from Lincs if you are local.

Thanks

Gareth

Hi Joy,

Some of the varieties are resistant - look at the database link above for details of the varieties and what they are resistant to (Blight / Threadworm / drought etc etc.)

We can currently get most varieties - if you see some you like then let us know and we will check availability.

You can also subscribe to a free service called "Blightwatch" which gives warnings for your postcode when there are the right conditions for blight to occur - so you can spray with a blight fungicide when and only when you need to.

Thanks

Gareth

Good evening,

Depends what plants and how many, and exactly where you are.

Bsst way to check prices is go to the site, addd the items to your shopping basket then go to checkout where it will give you the shipment costs and shipment options.

If you dont want to do that email us with what you want and I will provide a price.

Thanks

Apologies, Shetland Islands are now included in the zones.

Thanks
