Questionsspace between potato drills
Tony Fitzgibbon Staff asked 14 years ago

i planted some potatoes for the first time and i think i may have not left enough room between the drills. it is roughly a foot between each drill. will this affect the quality badly? i am earthing up the drills as the shoots are now growing. i saw on gardening programme on BBC last night that grass cuttings will also do to protect them from direct sunlight. the soil is quite good but i am just worried that i will not have enough soil to keep them covered
