Class 2 and earth

[JulianC]

Afternoon

Bought a bag of spuds from the Co-op the other day. Some had earth on them, some didn't. However, on the bag it said they were Class 2 potatoes. Do they need the earth or not?


Sorry for the simple question, but I only did a "One of your 5 a day wonder" courses so I'm not really a qualified greengrocer. In my defence I only do domestic fruit and veg. I leave commercial jobs to outside caterers.


(If it helps, the spuds are kept in a detached garage and the supply to my house is TN-S)

firstly good afternoon Mr Cope.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

I could understand the lack of understanding if it were turnips but....

 

[JulianC]

Ooh, ain't heard Mr. Cope for a while. It's off to YouTube I go...

 

[Knobhead]

Or is that Mr Clary

Potatoes need earth to grow surely?? I've seen farmers driving round their fields in tractors - I always assumed they were loop-testing the crops? Daz

 

[telectrix]

they drive round the fields to collect mud for spreading on the road when they're holding up a queue of traffic.

Nice one very funny

 

[Bick]

Unless you've completed an apprentichip I wouldn't touch 'em.

they drive round the fields to collect mud for spreading on the road when they're holding up a queue of traffic.

When you get held up cause of the spilled mud, is that earth fault impedance ?

 

[Pete999]

No it's a ground fault
