well this is a new forum. good. I could use the help!
i have a hate/love affair with potatoes. now tomatoes i love but potatoes waste space in the garden for low yields and waste time spent on hilling, picking off cpb, larvae, eggs, digging them up. a hate/love affair!
but i do love digging them even tho I just complained about that. it's like a treasure hunt! last year i used a soaker hose and got humongous yields of a whopping 4 pounds per plant, and that is good, best ever! same soaker hose this year, same 40' of row space (in a different place) again 3 varieties (yukon gold grown in both years) and i got a measly rotten 1 pound per plant. Talk about a waste of space! 36 pounds of potatoes for 160 sq feet of garden, please reread my 2nd paragraph!
so maybe i can learn something here, I sure hope so.
