As with tomatoes, home-grown spuds are a breed apart.<BR/><BR/>Get some seed potatoes. You can use ordinary shop spuds that have started to develop eyes, but you will have a healthier and larger crop with seed potatoes. You can get them from some garden supplies stores or maybe a good greengrocer. Also via mail-order from the Diggers Club. <BR/><BR/>Make a garden bed with good soil and plenty of compost and mulch (spuds are hungry little buggers). Put your seed potato in and cover it well with compost etc, and a layer of straw on top. In time, the green plant appears, grows, and, a few months later, dies (memento mori)<BR/><BR/>That's when you take your little fork and go hunting: Mamma Spud has produced dozens of baby spuds. Just pick 'em up and cook 'em. And sometimes this process goes on for years. We keep finding potatoes that must be the great-great-great grandspud of the original.<BR/><BR/>One thing: the green plant will be killed by frost and really hot weather. Other than that, it's set-and-forget.
