The potatoes turned out OK - I expected more but as it turned out the plot that I had at the gardens was very shady - in fact, there was shade until 2 PM. So nothing grew very well but I did get a number of meals out of the potatoes. I've since moved plots, dug a new ditch, and planted potatoes as per the instructions - so far so good! At my new plot, potatoes are sprouting all over the areas that I don't want them - so I agree that they are something else. Hi Ron, it was wood ash.

So how did your potatoes turn out? was he adding wood ash? or just charcoal? Potatoes are something else. I'm digging up potatoes from leftover peel in my compost. That was a great story.
