My earlies are really coming out now, and i was advised to cover them completly due to the part of the allotment they are in being a 'frost pocket'. I left my hubby to do this, and he has done a good job - but perhaps too good. It looks like he has been grave digging! We have very deep trenches either side now, nad the plants keep on peaking through as the earth wont stay over them. If i was lucky and got no frost, do you think this would be ok to leave, or should we flatten it all out and start again, crating small ridges like our other allotment neighbours have?

I would leave it as it is. The ridges make it easy to find the spuds later on.

The longer the stem length under the ground, the more potato grwoing bits there are.. big ridges are good
