Geof, so when you pot them up you put them very close to the bottom of the pot? Oh dear. I have been putting them near the top although buried by about 1" or more. I figured the eyes needed to be closer to the surface. I can see how your way would get the roots closer to the source of water when I start to bottom water. I don't have to saturate the pot so far to get to the roots. Too late for this year so I will top water until the growth would indicate some decent roots to draw from the bottom.
