I’ll have to remember all that. I did make a smallish trench for the seed buds, and put some hay down between the rows, then piled a little up.
I just really got busy and never got back to doing more hilling/layering of hay, and I don’t feel like I put enough compost in the bed to begin with. They also should have had some slow release fertilizer or liquid miracle grow or something, but I was busy and tired etc.
Anyway, the results were good enough to inspire me to plant more next year, and do better tending the soil.LOL
After you have prepared the soil take a garden hoe and open a nice furrow to plant your spuds and cover that and keep hilling until the bushes are too tall (if you have the time). We planted 72 row feet of Yukon Gold and Red Gold.
