I disagree.
When the sprouts get inches long / feet long... I simply run them out along the furrow and cover them.
Took a lot of effort to grow those sprouts... I've seen potatoes form on those sprouts...
In Ohio, you probably could stretch the season, but I'm not entirely sure that it's worth doing...
I am always in favor of side by side experiments, and would encourage you to take pictures and keep us updated on this thread.
