I've got some potato bags going and it is about time to do my first add of dirt. I've read that you can also use hay instead of dirt to make the stems grow roots and potatoes. Has anyone tried this? I'm nervous they wouldn't turn the stems into roots that grow potatoes with just hay.. but then again.. it would be easier to keep the plant from being too wet in areas. Actually, I might do a mix by loosely putting the hay in and then filling with dirt around that.. hmmm..
