Last year a few You Tube gardeners took part in a potato challenge. They all bought 1.5kg of spuds from a local supermarket and planted them, then once they'd all grown they weighed the harvest. I was going to buy some seeds potatoes this morning when I remembered the challenge. I've bought 2.5kg of Maris Piper from Aldi's for the princely sum of 89p. I don't have the space to grow a huge amount of spuds so I plan to take a half kilo of them out of the bag and use them as seed potatoes to see just how many potatoes I'll get when they've grown. I'd have paid £2.99 a kilo for Maris Piper seeds potatoes at a local garden centre. These worked out at just over 35p a kilo so quite a bargain. I plan to grow mine in buckets and I wondered if any of you fancy giving it a grow... half a kilo of shop bought spuds of any variety is the challenge and we'll see who can grow the most.
