My neighbor grows ten acres of potatoes each year to supply to local shops.
I have helped him on occassion sort (grade) and bag these spuds.
He never applied a chemical to stop them sprouting.
The moral of the story:
Buy locally produced potatoes, preferably from Irish farmers too tight to spend money on chemicals.
Long may they prosper.  _________________ 'Unemployment is capitalisms way of getting you to plant a garden'.
