Vortex

Once usually. As long as the ridge is 9-12" high you'll be ok.

If you've done it three times you should be in for a good crop as the tubers form on the stem...  :)

antipodes

I do it till there is no more soil to move :) and then I am going to try to mulch them to exclude the light and keep them nice and cosy. I  need to do it again this weekend...
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
