Carleen mentioned a spud cellar which sparked my interest.
We planted far too many potatoes (in my opinion!) as my husband decided
that a 25KG sack of seed potatoes was cheaper than buying two 5KG boxes
as we have done for the last few years. (Stan, I don't know what you'll
think of that - cheap but not lazy as there was significantly more work
involved!) We will have to harvest them soon and I have no idea at all
as to how to keep a large quantity of potatoes from rotting and/or
sprouting over the time it will take for us to eat our way through a
couple of hundred KG's of potatoes. We probably don't eat more than 5KG
a week! After growing the darn things, we'd like to get some benefit
from them instead of giving them away. Any tips and suggestions will be
gratefully accepted.
Cheers for now
