International Kidney Potato Kit

Many gardeners are choosing our potato kits to save space on their plot or because they simply don't have the room for a potato bed. They're perfect for beginners too - everything you need is included (although we recommend mixing in some of our potato fertiliser when planting) and each kit contains 3 heavy duty, reusable growing sacks with a 40 litre capacity and 1.5kg of top quality seed potatoes.

Potato International Kidney (Second Early Seed Potato) : This classic early potato has a lovely flavour and waxy texture. The long, white skinned tubers have a firm, cream flesh. Can also be grown as a maincrop if desired.

Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There’s the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes.

All potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from ‘chitting’ prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1½ to 2½cm (½ to 1in).
