When growing potatoes, you plant pieces of potatoes that contain the eyes. You can get these seed potatoes from garden centers and seed suppliers that certify them to be free from viruses and diseases.
Seed Pieces
Seed pieces may be whole potatoes or pieces of potatoes weighing about 2 ounces each. Each seed piece has to have at least one good eye.
Rows
Create rows in the soil about one to three inches deep. Leave space of 24 to 36 inches between rows to allow the plants to shade the soil and prevent high soil temperatures that could inhibit potato growth.
Space Between Seed Pieces
Leave spaces of 10 to 12 inches between seed pieces in the rows. The amount of garden space you need would depend on the number of seed pieces you want to plant.
