Bury it and they will grow.
My compost bin is full of them by accident.
The sprouting inhibitor only last for a sort time.
Your biggest worry is bringing in blight to your garden.
There are ways to help prevent this but it escapes me now.
Seed potatoes are grown in areas or fields where there is no blight.
Grocery store potatoes dont have to follow these regulations as strictly.

The buds are much bigger now. I was planning on putting them in 10 gallon grow bags with garden soil and straw mulch but now I have to wait for this snow/ice to melt. I'm on the southern tip of the Nor'easter. I was thinking of adding some Black Kow but the thought of manure on my taters kind of creeps me out, even if it is composted first. What kind of fertilizer do you recommend?
