I'm waiting for a smarter one than I to answer you Dell, but I'd guess that you cover most of the stems of the growing bits erm if that makes any sense  :?

what you doing still outta bed?

Piskie has it.  Just leave a couple inches showing.  Repeat once or twice.

thanks that will help - first time I've grown potatos

In answer to your question - I don't need much sleep - 3-4 hours a night and I'm good - it's just a shame that that the garden is in the dark

[WG.]

Draw the soil in from around the edges so as not to break the stems.  Don't simply dump it on top.

Ok - you're sorted.  Now tell me how to grow Syrah grapes in Scotland and we'll be even.

WG, there's many who are content with only 3-5 hours sleep at NIGHT. Sadly, I'm not one of them, a shame because there's so much to do and not enough waking hours for me.
