Hello one question regarding planting potato. I prepared potato and planted, but my space between tubers is 10 - 15 cm, and it should be arrond 20 - 25 cm, how this will affect growth ... should I rip out some of plants?

thx

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.

Even if the yield per initial 'seed' potato is reduced, the yield per area planted will likely be much the same.

... My wife prefers them that way.
LOL so do we. It is such a treat to "rob" the small potatoes as you go. I look forward to it every year and mine are getting close to being "robbable" now.

It could affect both the yield and the size of the harvested potatoes. Be on the lookout for blight, as this is more likely if there is less airflow around the haulms.
