A couple of years ago I ended up with way to many seed potatoes, I took the rototiller to a patch of completely unprepared ground amongst the pines and tilled the hell out of it. I didn’t do anything other than water it and ended up with a bumper crop, who knew.
I usually put in 300 lb Yukon golds; only thing the moose don’t eat. Usually plant May 15th here in Fairbanks. Still have hard tatoes in garage. I just made hotdogs and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes over weekend; too good.
