After reading about it in Organic Gardening,
We did the same thing with small bales. Laid out a checker board over disced ground then screwed a seed potato piece into the ground at each intersection. Best potato crop I ever grew. Since this area was where the previous farmers had stacked manure and let it rot over the years, it was pure compost. My, oh my, those potatoes loved it... Wish I had that garden spot back again. We are just building fertility here but it is good.
