Hi, this is my second garden season and I would like to try growing potatoes for the first time. I wanted some feedback on how to plant them from some of the long time gardeners. I have a few potatoes that I did not get to before they started sprouting eyes. The eyes look pretty good and I have read I can cut the potatoes up with 2 or 3 eyes on each chunk, let the skin scab over for a day or two, then plant them eyes up.
My main question is, is this a good way to grow potatoes or should I buy seed potatoes? These potatoes are not organic but if I grew them organically would they become organic? Not sure how that would work.
Also what ways have you had the best growing success? Just in rows or stacking tires or something like that to make a potato tower?
Thanks so much!!
