Table potatoes Instead of using certified stocks, home gardeners often plant table stocks obtained at a grocery store. Although potatoes from such sources may grow and yield satisfactorily. this practice is' not recommended. Table potatoes may be infected with a plant virus and other plant diseases that have no effect • on consumer quality and may have no visible signs on the tubers, but will result in a smaller or poorer crop if used as planting stocks. Geese are good foragers and can be used to control the growth �f many types of grass and weeds in orchards and crops such as strawberries and asparagus. Young geese are the best weeders; experimental work has shown the best time to start them is when they are five to six years old.
