Planting guide

Plant well.Grow beautifully.

Growing method

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, dried out, and warmed sufficiently. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so excess water can escape. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with fragile skin. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-green tubers should be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist while the potatoes are growing and bulking up. Water at the base when the soil starts to dry out below the surface, taking rainfall into account. Moisten the root zone without letting water stand, and avoid alternating between complete dryness and saturation. In pots or grow bags, check the moisture more frequently, especially in hot weather. Reduce watering as the foliage naturally yellows closer to harvest.

Soil type

For potatoes, choose loose, fertile, and well-drained soil that is easy to work around the tubers. Check drainage after rain: water should be able to exit the root zone. Work the soil when it has dried out to avoid compacting it. Adjust amendments to its actual texture. In containers, use appropriate potting soil and a pot with drainage holes. Keep these openings clear and avoid any water accumulation in the saucer.

Fertilization

Adapt your fertilization to the richness of your soil and the needs of the crop. A soil analysis helps in choosing the right inputs before planting. Respect the dosage indicated on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying it. Take into account compost and other applications already made to avoid over-fertilizing the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions for use; avoid any concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A larger application does not guarantee a better harvest.

Seasonal care

Plant in spring when the ground is thawed, drained, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so excess water can escape. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize consuming potatoes with still fragile skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are intended for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-green tubers should be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also check the condition of potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating. Regularly observe growth and soil moisture throughout the season. Remove diseased debris and clean your tools before working on another planting. At harvest, handle edible parts with care to limit injuries that can accelerate their degradation.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

To grow potatoes in containers, choose a deep, sturdy pot or a grow bag designed for this purpose. The drainage holes must allow excess water to escape without letting the growing medium leach out. Leave space to add soil around the base as the stems develop: new tubers must remain protected from light. Place the container in a sunny spot where you can water easily. Check the moisture level below the surface during growth, as the available soil volume dries out faster than a garden row. Plant in spring when the soil is thawed, well-drained, and sufficiently warm. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed potatoes with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep the new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add growing medium and keep the drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

Bloom and dimensions

Its place,in your garden.

Bloom period

The potato can flower during its growth, but the presence of flowers varies depending on the variety and growing conditions. The absence of flowering does not necessarily mean that no tubers are forming. Above all, observe the development of the foliage and respect the harvesting period appropriate for the variety. The flowers and the small berries that may follow them are not edible. Edible harvesting concerns healthy tubers that are not green and are cooked.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

Install neighboring crops at a sufficient distance so as not to hinder maintenance or block the light necessary for this plant. Compare their mature height and water needs before sharing the same space. Keep paths clear to water and harvest without damaging the leaves. Companion planting in the vegetable garden should primarily facilitate care and efficient use of space; it does not guarantee protection against diseases or pests. Clearly separate different varieties with labels to identify each one at harvest time and track your results over the seasons.

Edible parts

Healthy and non-green tubers harvested after cooking; exclude sprouts, leaves, stems and berries

Herb-roasted potatoes. Use healthy potatoes from your harvest, that are not green and have no sprouts. Wash them thoroughly, remove any damaged parts and cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. Mix them with a little oil, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, such as thyme or rosemary. Spread them in a single layer in a dish or on a baking sheet, without overcrowding them. Roast them in the oven until the outside is golden brown and the flesh is tender when pricked. Turn the pieces during cooking to brown several sides. Serve with vegetables, a salad, or your main course. You can add fresh chives just before serving. Adjust the cooking time according to the size of the pieces and your oven. This recipe uses tubers harvested from the garden, never plants sold for planting, leaves, berries, or sprouts.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant ‘Combo Sack C1’ potatoes?

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, dried out and warmed up sufficiently. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

What light to provide for 'Combo Sack C1' Potato?

The recommended exposure is full sun. Observe the light in your chosen location in the morning and afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also, consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young plant as it develops. For potted plants, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors outside, gradually acclimatize it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for young leaves.

How to adjust watering?

Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface can still be moist at root level. Direct the water to the base and allow it to penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any saucers that collect water. Also adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a resting period do not require the same amount of water.

What to plan for container growing?

Container gardening requires planning for the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable potting mix. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the recommended exposure and regularly check the moisture level, especially during hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than a plant in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

What care should be planned after the growing season?

Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize eating potatoes with delicate skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-green tubers should be consumed after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also, check the potatoes regularly during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.
