King Edward Seed Potatoes - The Accidental Smallholder

The old favourite King Edward needs good soil to do well and crops are more modest than some but it's well worth growing as it is unsurpassed for roasting and the floury flesh makes fine mash too when steamed.

King Edward is a maincrop potato variety. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - boil, steam, mash, chips, saute, baked and roast.

Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30").

Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.

NB: Quantities are approximate and based on 10 tubers per kilogram.
