Just getting the garden dug and I'm wondering about quantities of potatoes needed. How do you guage how much you need? How many spuds do you get from 2.5 kgs. Hope that makes sense.

H42 you will get a drill of approx 7m to 7.5m long with from a 2.5kg bag of seed potatoes, i.e. average 28-30 potatoes per pack at 25cm spacing.

Next drill 60cm apart and so on.
