potato planting

By themadgardener , 26 April 2025

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!
