Be sure to check your spuds in storage for signs of sprouting and if found, remove the sprouts!!---If no sprouting,--- dump/stir them so they get mixed and lay in a different position in the box!---This sounds weird but it will slow down the sprouting process because the eyes get confused as to which way is up!!! thanks; sonny
ps--I only got 7,000 pound to still turn!--lol!!---anybody want some good spuds?--the price is right,--- FREE!!

Re: Spuds in storage
I spread a little lime on mine and cover them with a burlap tobacco bag if you keep them dark it helps prevent sprouting also

Re: Spuds in storage
Not practical for Sonny with 7,000 pounds, but the old timers in this area used leave the dirt on after digging, and wrap them in newspaper, then either store in cellar or under bed in back bedroom (normally coolest room in old farm house).
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: Spuds in storage
After de-sprouting and turning them,---can you put them in a cooler /darker place? ---I think the commercial guys keep the tater cribs around 35-- to 40 degrees the year around for their storage !! thanks; sonny
