No pleasing some people - free 'weeds' that you can eat !    ;D

the problem with spuds that have been left in from previous years is the fact that they might have blight.
this organism cannot liveverwinter in soil alone, it needs to live in potato tubers. When these sprout and grow the following year, the spores spread again!!
Keep chopping them down.
Farmers spray them  or spot weed with a glyphosate wipe to avoid blight carry-over from year to year
