What color mulch? I thought potatoes liked it cool, so does black work?
I can visualize foliage covering the plastic after they’ve grown a good
while, but are you transplanting in July for new potatoes? If so, how do you
keep your sets? Beth Spaugh From:

Scott we have been using a water wheel transplanter to put
in potatoes for a number of years, but we have been using it to put in our
really early potatoes using plastic mulch for early growth. Two rows on
one 36" plastic mulch in beds, no hilling. Has produced very nice
potatoes with some really large ones at times. Very easy to dig, most of
the potatoes are just an inch of two under the plastic. Quit doing
potatoes any other way. We plant around 2000# a year and plant some every
month until they are all planted. Phil |
