Mauldintiger said:Here's how I grow mine, lay them on the ground, eyes up and cover with straw, add straw again when the plant pops out. Check out my soil color after 2 yrs. of sheet mulching over red clay. I even gave my composter away and just pull back the mulch and put veggie scraps right on the ground.

I'm curious what kind of crop you get planting your potatoes this way. Both quantity and size? I'd guess you could just lift the straw and pick a few potatoes when you need some without having to dig up the plant. Smiling
