Hilling potatoes works. That's how we did it on the Wisconsin farm.
Good exercise.
My stupid potato question was asked on another thread that I don't think was
answered.
We have 12 dwarf apple trees that don't produce much foliage (the damage
from deer last year deer didn't help), could I possibly plant potatoes under
and throughout the 'tree patch' laying straw under them and covering them
with straw? I know a few people who use straw instead of soil.
We are getting rid of the dwarf trees to gain more garden space--but they
aren't gone yet.
I'm like to save my tilled garden space for other veggies that take up less
room than potatoes.
Thanks,
Lisa
