I first watched other lotties planting spuds and thought they all seem to be doing it different, so being an awkward sod I thought I would be even differenter,if there's such a word, I dug a spade deep trench and then roughed the bottom and stuck the spud a few inches down in the trench then covered in rotted manure, the earth that came out of the trench was banked up beside it, and so on. When the the tops came through in the trench I just shovelled some manure on the tops, one of the fellows on the lottie asked why I had done it this way I mumbled something and he said well at least down in the trench they are safe from the frost I mumbled thats one of the reasons I done it (did I eck), and as they grow I drew the earth from the bank into the trench well that's my complicated way, I suppose we will all get the same sort of yield whatever way we do it. ;D ;D ;D
