several weeks back i put a sheet mulch down,  planted potatoes in it & 
covered with
straw. seeming perplexed  my  neighbour informed me i was doing it wrong. 
apparently the
correct method is to burn & dig! so he can't help much with the present query 
viz. -
heavy rains have flattened the mulch whilst the potatoes are now 12 inch 
above the
mulch. should i add more mulch? it looks about necessary. but then what, more 
straw? or
maybe half rotted  leaves? or fresh grass cuttings? anyone got any 
suggestions? yes,
beginning to wonder if i haven't merely made a wonderful slug habitat!
