I run a similar experiment this year: i dumped the last remaining potatoes from last year into one of my raised beds. - I had removed the soil from it to let it rest this year, it is in a bad spot anyways…i am doing experiment with my purple potato patch this year i am allowing the weeds to do the hilling for me…. View attachment 3839615this is front of house around crow feeder barrel where i dumped dozens of bags of used goose and duck bedding in a circle, and then added compost and planted potatoes last year they came out awesome this year the weeds marched in - experiment has begun
Then covered the potatoes with several loads of grass cuttings and kitchen scraps, basically using it as my temporary compost bin. I cannot clean out the dux house at the moment due to the broodies, so my regular compost pile is kind of inoperable at the moment.
