Plant them 3 or 4 inches deep and about 18 inches apart.As the plants grow throughout the spring and summer they will need hilling.illing is adding more soil and compost around the base of the plant - 3 or 4 inches maybe twice during the season. This will protect any tubers (potatoes) forming near the surface of the soil from becoming exposed to the sun.

Small potatoes may be planted whole. Plant seed pieces cut side down, 10-12 inches apart and about 3-5 inches deep, in rows 30-36 inches apart. Space pieces closer for smaller tubers and farther apart for fewer but larger tubers. Cover pieces with 4 inches of soil or compost.

Soilman Well, not quite official… but March 8th is good enough for me. Spring means planting onion sets and potatoes. So I made a start on the onions today by planting four rows. I bury them about 5″ apart, and deep enough so that only the very tip of the sets are just showing. Any shallower and the birds pull them up, meaning you have to do the whole wretched procedure all over again.

Itâs Time to Plant Potatoes Reliable potato varieties for North Carolina include ‘Yukon Gold’, a personal favorite with creamy, gold color flesh, ‘Kennebec’, and ‘Red Pontiac’, a red skin potato with white flesh and deep eyes. Potatoes grow best in rich, well-drained soil. Planting in wet soils will result in disease problems and crop failure. If your soil is still too wet to plant, you can get a head start on your potato crop by pre-sprouting seed potatoes indoors for a week or two.
