we always planted "cut" potato seeds. not just eyes. we never coated them with anything. i've heard powdered sulfur works. planting potatoes early gives them a head start ahead of the hot dry summer. we planted them the old-fashioned way by hand. then dug them with a fork, hoe & shovel.
I dip them in diluted clorox and water before planting. Never had a rot problem.
I cover the seed potatoes with brown paper when planting.

If it doesn't stop raining, I may plant rice this year.
Think it's to late to start putting an ark together?
