Potato fork , dug a row up and no casualties!
Would love to see a photo! I think I've found a hand potato fork in an inherited shed but not sure
Always a result... even better if the slugs and blight have stayed away!
My late potatoes are turning into 'self dig' I went to get a couple of plants dug up yesterday only to find they have really grown big but are pushing the top ones out of the ground. That would be great usually but the top ones have turned green. I had better plant them a lot deeper if I try late ones again. There was one of those flat tined forks left in the shed I took over. I'll have a try with it on the next plant I dig as these spuds are so big you cannot help but spike one when you are harvesting.
