In the newspaper today there is a letter from a lady who claims to get a good potato crop by saving the peelings from any potatoes with "sprouting eyes" on them, storing them in a sack and then planting them in a row when she has sufficient.. Has anybody else tried this? Wouldn't the peelings dry out and die before they were planted?
