I am trying to grow some potatos for the first time and need some advise on the mounding that you are supposed to do.
I am already a bit late I think as some of the plants are over 12".
instead of just using dirt I was thinking of using a mix of the waste from the rabbits. its a mix of hay, and the bedding which is equine fresh, like wood pellets, and of course bunny fertilizer.
will this be good or better than dirt ?? what should I use ?
how high do you mound ? it seems like it will hurt the plants??
how much of the plant sticks out?
here are a couple pics before mounding the hay/pellets/poop
and a pic of what I did to the first plant.
any potato advise would be great
thanks
