Now that your seed potatoes are pre-sprouted and callused, it’s time to get them in the ground!
🌿 Prepare the Soil: Loose, well-draining soil is key! Amend with compost and a balanced organic fertilizer to support strong growth. Potatoes like acidity so something like the Down to Earth Acid Fertilizer is nice.
📏 Spacing & Depth: Plant potato pieces 3-4 inches deep and 12 inches apart, with rows spaced about 3 feet apart for easy hilling and harvesting.
🌞 Hilling for Success: As your plants grow, mound soil around the stems to prevent greening and increase yield. Keep hilling until plants start flowering!
💧 Water & Care: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Consistent watering is crucial once tubers begin forming.

What we’re going to do today is bury each of these potatoes into a trench that’s at least 8 in deep. And what you’re going to do is amend the soil with acidic fertilizer. Something like this will do just fine. Next, after your soil is amended, you’re going to plant each potato with the eyes pointing up. Now we can bury our potatoes. And you’re going to want to cover your potatoes with a really thick layer of mulch. Keep those nice and tucked in. And once your potato sprouts are about four to six inches tall, you’re going to want to add additional compost or soil at the base of each plant. This is called hilling up. What that means is that the hill needs to grow as the potatoes grow. You want to reduce the amount of sun exposure to each potato to prevent them from turning green. And that’s it. You’re ready for really easy spring spuds.
