Listen to The SodShow, Dublin’s only garden radio show. Live every Friday @ 3pm – or after tea-time in podcast. Peter talks with David Shaw of Sarvari Research Trust, a not-for-profit company that breeds low-input, blight-resistant non-gm potatoes. Their current research is unfortunately seen as ‘market research’ and so they can’t get any grants and so are at present crowd funding to continue the work with their Sarpo varieties. They are based at Henfaes Research Centre, of Bangor University.

With thanks to Greensax, our wonderful show sponsors. Find the show notes over on www.sodshow.com or @sodshow on twitter
