How to Grow and Care for Seed Potato - Kennebec
Planting Instructions
To grow Seed Potato - Kennebec, choose well-drained, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter, such as compost. Select a location with full sunlight, as potatoes thrive in areas with ample light. Plant the seed potatoes 4-6 inches deep and space them around 12 inches apart in rows. The soil should be warm, with a temperature of 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C) when planting. Plant Kennebec potatoes after the last frost date, ensuring the soil is sufficiently warmed up.
Watering and Maintenance
Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season, ensuring the soil is kept evenly moist, but not soggy. Kennebec potatoes benefit from mulching, which helps retain moisture, suppresses weeds, and regulates soil temperature. As the plants grow, mound soil around the base of the plants to encourage the development of more tubers. Regularly check for pests like aphids or beetles, and remove any affected plants to keep the crop healthy. Ensure good soil drainage to prevent waterlogging and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
