Part 5/8:
A common practice among backyard gardeners is cutting seed potatoes in half to increase yield. Potato Thai shares that, on a commercial level, they cut larger seed potatoes to avoid wastage and boost efficiency. While this practice may optimize output on a farm, the yield boost for home gardeners is not as significant. When comparing the yields from cut versus whole potatoes, the expected yield may only increase by about 50% rather than doubling, but it still optimizes the use of both seed and land.
