[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 429182, member: 367"] Nice , I had a few big potatoes but I don't think they are that heavy. But I'll throw one on the scale and see. I can't say enough in one post about how happy I am gardening with hills. The heavy soil we have on a dry year like this usually makes for a long hard harvest but I pulled the potatoes out the side of the hills with my bare hands and they were good size and plentiful. The carrots were bigger than normal and pulled out by the tops with no digging. First time I've saw that. One row of carrots a different variety that I planted without hilling, I ended up digging with the backhoe after I broke my good potato fork. I'm all hilled up for next spring , the snow melts off them first and they warm up faster. I no tilled the seed and what few weeds there were in the rows were a lot easier to manage. I'm sold .
