Are you up for the #potatochitchallenge? Think you're gardener enough to beat the combined world and universe record of 3 pounds of potatoes grown from just one chit by me last year? Ok, then. Prove it by entering the great Potato Chit Challenge of 2021.
Potato Chit Challenge
Use the hashtag #potatochitchallenge
Challenge = who can get the most weight in potatoes from one potato chit
1. Use one potato chit, cleanly broken off the potato with no peel attached.
2. Plant the chit on - or any time after - the 14th February 2021.
3. Harvest on - or any time before - 26th Sept 2021. (updated date)
4. Grow only in a container, not in the ground.
5. The container can be any size up to 35 litres.
6. No more than 3 “potting on” to larger containers allowed.
7. Use whatever growing medium you like, including your own top secret recipe
8. After harvesting wash the potatoes clean and weigh. All potatoes can be weighed including the pea sized ones.
9. Weigh in kilo and grams not pounds and ounces.
10. Publish your weight with pride.
Weights will be collated after the 26th Sept and the winner and prize giving announced on 1st Oct
Have fun :-)
