Growing tips
Plant mid March-May
Sow straight away as the tubers are perishable (within 48 hours from lifting for best results)
Plant with a potato planter in ridged rows (in the direction the birds are to be driven)
Normal rate at 500kg per acre is 75cm rows, 75cm width between plants and at a depth of 10-20cm. This will provide excellent cover but may become too thick in year 2-3. Alternative rows can be thinned out after 2-3 years or wider spaces can be implemented when planted to avoid this, however cover will be weaker in year 1.
