halhurst's top of wall russets Care Instructions
Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Potato 'Russet' normally grows to a mature height of 1.20 metres (that's 3.90 feet imperial) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has full sun light - a partial sun position will ensure your plant thrives.
Remember to water moderately.
Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Potato 'Russet' likes to be in acidic soil.
Common Potato problems include Early Blight, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.
