Instructions for Use

1. Soil preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of approximately 30 cm to promote strong root and tuber development.
2. Pre-sprouting (optional): Pre-sprouting can be started about three to four weeks before planting in a light, frost-free environment to encourage strong shoots and faster establishment.
3. Planting: Plant after the risk of frost has passed. Maintain approximately 40 cm between plants and 60 cm between rows. Plant Oscar potato tubers slightly deeper than average due to the high tuber count, with shoots facing upward.
4. Care: Earth up the plants gradually after about six weeks. Regular watering supports growth, and planting in non–scab-prone soil helps maintain tuber quality.
5. Harvesting: Harvest once the foliage begins to die back, usually between 95 and 115 days after planting. Lift potato sets carefully to avoid tuber damage.
