Certified Organic Potato Nicola

Nicola is an early well-shaped oval potato. The skin is thin and very light brown with cream coloured flesh. It has good resistance to common and powdery scab.  It is susceptible to blight unfortunately so make sure you add a generous amount of Calcium to the soil.

Plant  after danger of frost. To avoid diseases, plant where potatoes or related plants (tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants) have not grown for at least a year. Set the seed pieces in 4- to 6-inch-deep planting holes or trenches. Space seed pieces about 12 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.

Potatoes need a loose, deep, sandy, or sandy loam soil, or soils generously amended with organic matter such as compost. All potatoes need regular irrigation or rainfall throughout the season.  Once the plants have emerged from the ground, hill soil up, covering all but one-third of the sprout. Repeat hilling three to four weeks later. Mulch the rows with a 4- to 6-inch-thick layer of straw mulch when plants emerge to help conserve moisture and stop weed seeds from germinating. 1lb
