Maris Bard is a very well known early potato for digging after the very first potatoes have finished. Maris Bard has soft waxy creamy white flesh and a distinctive slightly earthy taste.

High yielding and reliable. First Early variety. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - new, boil, steam, mash and saute.Our seed potatoes are inspected by the relevant certifying authority and that number is featured on the bag labels (within riddle size 35mm x 60mm). This eliminates over-large and very small potatoes.

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.
