Full StoryGreetings! I have a few questions about "chitting" potatoes (potato seed). I have whole potato seed from a garden supplier. I heard of "chitting"-getting a jump start on the spouting of the potatoes by having them exposure to moderate light in egg cartons-then planting after the sprouts have come out from the potato.
Ok, do I add any water or psrinkle water on the potatoes at any time? I am seeing very tiny sprouts staring and I am giving them light in an airy place.
Am I doing anything wrong? How long is this process supposed to take?
I have planted some other potato seed directly into the soil ( very good composted and pH balanced and well fertilized soil!) and have not seen any spourts yet.
I would appreciate any input here folks. I would like to be able to raise potatoes in my garden.
Thank you.
Lawrence
