I have them in raised beds and they are staggered with about 12 inches between plants. My potatoes are single plant varieties from Tom Wagner's sampler so I don't yet know the growth habits. In there are 4 fingerlings that I am doing at 10 inches from the next plant. The sampler from last year I am keeping at 12in and TPS seedlings at 8-9 inches in containers. If I were to count ft of them probably 60ft total.
