[QUOTE="KEN W, post: 298568, member: 6738"] As said above.....all potatoes grow above the seed piece. Dig a hole with a hoe 4 to 5 inches deep or so. Put the seed piece in the hole. Barely cover it. It will start to grow. When it is 12 to 18 inches tall, use your hoe to fill in the hole and pull the soil up around the plant so it is hilled up. If you bag your grass clippings.....put them around each plant for mulch. Check later this summer to make sure none are above the soil or the light will turn them green. A week or so after they bloom you can start scratching around them looking for baby potatoes if you like them. Check the leaves for Colorodo Potato Beetles. [/QUOTE]
