Potatoes - Dave’s Approach

I like a simple system with as little work as possible – so I ignore the rules. I plant tubers as soon as the weather allows - as deep as I can using a trowel. I divide the space I have in the beds I use by the number of tubers in the bag to get my planting distance, possibly planting two small ones together. Then I forget about them apart from removing any strong weeds. No earthing up and no watering. I leave all varieties in the ground till I need them – covering them with some plastic if the weather gets really cold or wet. It works for me.
