By the end of May, the potato is planted out into an enclosed raised bed, with protection from late frosts.  The ground should be prepared with a granular fertilizer. Select any standard vegetable fertilizer with a low amount of nitrogen. The nutrient encourages foliage production, which is undesirable in potato plants.  Select a feed with a higher percentage of phosphorous

It is important that the growing tops are supported . The potatoes are grown in an environment with open sides but with the roof cover still on. This cover helps to control watering and provides some protection against blight.

Throughout the growing season every effort is made to try and reduce each plant to 1 tuber. Its easier to do this in a raised bed but still difficult.
