Hello Experienced potato farmers!

I'm getting ready to try my luck with potatoes this year. I prepared my bed with potting soil, sand, straw and rabbit manure in March, but have yet to plant. Because I'm in AZ, it looks like I will be able to get them in the ground in just another couple of weeks. I'm wondering if you have any advise for me? I have the Pontiac Red seeds and plan on sectioning them out before planting. Is bone meal that important? Does it provide calcium to the soil? I have chickens and wonder whether it'd be wise to plant the seeds with eggshell?

Thank you for any tips you can give me. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You!
