Potato in Straw







Ken, good friend of mine grows potatoes under straw. So this year, I saw some seed potatoes at the garden centre and thought, why not?

Bought 10 lb of seed potatoes. Certified. Norland is a
red Potato. Put the potatoes in some egg cartons to let them get started sprouting. Then cut them up and planted them.


Then got some straw from the farmer across the road who takes hay off of our field and piled it on.
More updates later
