This is my first year with drip tape on potatoes.  I have a question about mulching them with straw.  The ground is very cool and moist in the hills that I was wondering about skipping mulching the earlier potatoes.  I will start digging them in a few weeks and it seems like a waste.  I am going to mulch the later ones as I will try to keep them going until August.

Just FYI, they were planted in a trench, and hilled up twice to about 12-15 inches.

Any thoughts about mulch, drip tape and potatoes?
