When I was growing up in a very large family , we only had to eat what we grew . So potatoes was a big crop for us . My Dad had built a 3 row , hilling plow out of oak which I pulled with our Ford tractor as he held it steady with the 2 handles he installed on it . Like someone else said , plant your seed potatoes deep, cover lightly with dirt . Then as they grow put more dirt on them . As our plants got bigger we would use the row shovels as a hiller . The trench between the rows then became a catch basin for rain water . We never covered with hay or straw due to so many rows & no money to buy the stuff . But let me tell you , I knew what pulling weeds was . Dad hated weeds in any our plots . We usually harvested enough potatoes to feed 13 people all winter with left overs for seed the following year . We planted corn about the same way . I miss gardening . But I only have less than an acre & no room . Njoy ! God bless, Ken
