The mistake I made, only discernible at harvest time, was not watering enough though I thought I had. The yields were quite low. I was particularly disappointed with International Kidney - the first time I had grown them - as they were prone to flaking and breaking up on boiling. Insufficient watering was the cause of this, apparently. They did not taste nearly as good as shop bought Jerseys and, if I were to grow them again, I would be much more diligent with the watering.
People always laud the taste of home grown potatoes over bought ones. In my view this is overplayed and certainly was in the case of International Kidney/Jerseys. Allow for the cost of the seed potatoes which are not cheap, the large quantities of compost, and buying potato bags and, as James Wong says, it is cheaper to get your potatoes delivered every week from Harrods Food Hall.
This year I am growing Anya and Belle de Fontenay and have set aside plenty of home made compost and leaf mould to fill the sacks.
Couple of old recycling tubs, home made compost and soil dug up from elsewhere in the garden, a few spuds that had started to sprout in the cupboard and Bob's your uncle
