| g'day gardener, yes hey can be used, i also used to advocate using certified potato's to grow from it makes no difference to cropping you either do well or not, but it is supposed to ensure no disease. i plant both certified and whatever sprouts in the pantry from shop bought potato's i do just as well crop wise with both, there are a lot of gardeners out there who plant shop bought material and to date i can't recall any plant health issues because of that. len |
