The secret to epic potato harvests!

I turned 20 old sprouted potatoes into 20 pounds of new potatoes!
These are the results of testing out new coaxing method, to grow more potatoes, using straw. The seed potatoes are a waste product (rotten/sprouted) and the straw is ag waste. This method easily quadrupled my harvest.

No potatoes keep producing up just because you hill, they may give a few 3 or 4 inches higher but hardly ever above that unless you plant more potatoes in the hill.

Good to know. I did kind of think you can arbitrarily extend the growth up. But that helps explain my results. This was however my best harvest of all time; so I believe there is some benefit to doing this.

@@Wild_California Some people think they can hill up there potatoes 15 to 20 inches and the tubers will keep growing to the top, not going to happen. Glad you had a great yield.
