Colin PurringtonFor those interested in growing potatoes, here's some before and after pics I took yesterday. The one on the right has an additional layer of pine needles topped off with several inches of composted cow manure. The sticks are driven into the ground to keep the pile from collapsing. It's ugly, but the idea is to keep burying the stem every several weeks to encourage generation of tubers at nodes. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/potatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#potatoes</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/solanum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solanum</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#allotment</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/VegetableGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VegetableGardening</a>
