Must have been easier to harvest, with all the tubers at the top!

Sounds like youve got some very patronising advice there.  ::)
Eyes grow all around the tuber so you decide which way is up when you chit it. even then like everyone said eyes at the bottom will soon grow up to the light.

was is one of those nay sayers?
oh, no no no no no you dont want to do it like that.
Its good to have them around so that you can beat them at the show with all the things youve done "wrong"

Did you watch the Elizabethan Farm programme, they were growing spuds, Ruth was just dropping in the seed potatoes from height, no messing about, and they had a decent crop.
