How about that!!!
How have you been Donna? It is good to see you again.
I am still borrowing tillers... :(

I personally cover them leaves and all, for both potatoes and tomatoes. I've never stripped leaves on anything.

When you hill up the potatoes, do you cover the leaves or strip them as with

Yikes! That should be 12-15 inches WIDE. It is only about 6 inches deep or so.

I dug a trench about 12-14 inches deep and then seeded it, pulling over
about a third of the excavated soil. Once I see the vine, I'll continue
to mound the soil around it, creating a huge bed of potatoes that will
need to be dug. I'm not looking forward to that.
