Was a very nice day to be outside and it was time to get going on potato planting, about the only thing I plant this early! As usual I did it "Mad Gardener Style" where I lay down cardboard and news paper, a thin layer of wood chips, and then a thick layer of hay. I then hill will more hay or grass clippings. Saves on digging, both for planting, and when it is time to harvest! In the fall I just pull back the hay/grass and sort out the potatoes! I was able to get three rows in today and plan to finish the fourth row tomorrow! This is just another variation of lasagna gardening and all this material will decay and amend the soil!
