The Potato Book is a charming guide to growing potatoes, covering their origins and history. Written in 2024, this little book advocates for growing potatoes as a cheap and effective crop against a background of spiraling costs and food shortages.

Practical advice on soil preparation, propagating, chitting, planting, earthing-up, and recommended varieties is included, along with handy diagrams to help guard against common pests and diseases. First published towards the end of the First World War, this book remains a valuable resource for vegetable growers today.

A perfect gift for those with an enduring affection for the humble spud, The Potato Book offers a unique blend of history, practical advice, and passion for growing potatoes.
