I love homegrown potatoes. We used to grow Yukon Gold.

Debi, this is how we grew them. Just used a hoe and "dug" a 2" line. Dropped the eyes in, covered them up with the dirt and covered it with straw. No digging that way. Just push the straw over with the hoe and grab your potatoes.

I miss them.

I never used straw, but might this year, you just plant them , then cover with straw, and probably keep adding straw, sounds easy enough. might just try it.
