georgegml 0 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 My potatoes have gone soft, what have i done wrong? I stored them in potato sacks in my garage (cool and dark) but they have all gone soft still. This hasnt happened the last couple of years ive been gardening properly. I thought i dried them fine before sacking them up. Help appreciated as i do NOT want this to happen again. think you've dug them up too early mate done the same a few years ago with some golden wonders always wait till mid september now havn't had a problem since Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Could you bury them in the ground and store them there? I've got instructions here for it somewhere, I'll try to dig them out for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
