Cutting Potatoes To Single Eyes
Categories:
Vegetable Growing
Some say only one eye to a piece; others say several eyes - which is
better?
In one experiment potatoes cut to single eyes with each piece weighing
one-sixteenth of an ounce yielded 44 bushels to the acre, while single
eyes on two-ounce pieces yielded 177 bushels to the acre. Experiments in
Indiana showed that the yield usually increased with the weight of the
set and that the exact number of eyes per cutting is relatively
unimportant.
