Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I have been asked how they put that nice brown wrapper on the potatoes.

The interesting point here is the gal who asked that one felt qualified to
argue with me about gardening and farming in general.  If anything, she knew
even less about animals.




I might have refused that dropped tater on the issue of bruising.

        When I was working as a checker at the local grocery store a few
years back I accidentally dropped a potato on the floor. I picked it up and
placed it back in the bag and continued on with my checking. The lady said
she no longer wanted any of the potatoes because they were dirty. I still
can't figure that out - they are grown in the dirt first of all and secondly
wasn't she going to wash it and cook it (and possibly peel it) before eating
it anyway?
