Chitting potatoes Sprouting Potatoes - How to chit or sprout seed potatoes UK

If you grow potatoes you may have heard about chitting potatoes, sprouting potatoes or preparing potatoes for the growing season. In this video, I show you how I chit or sprout seed potatoes and explain why.

It's really easy to do and helps to give your potatoes a head start for when they are planted. This is the first stage in growing potatoes. You can grow potatoes outside, in tubs, containers, sacks, bags, on your allotment, in your garden, indoors. I grow potatoes in containers / tubs and sacks. Please check out my other videos to see how I grow them and also check back to follow my potato growing journey for 2021. I will regularly upload new video content.
