Potato time! Second wave

Potatoes started sprouts and it's time to seed all of them. Before three weeks I seeded two beds and a lot of my neighbors said it was too early, but the weather has been warmer and warmer since then. This week is the perfect time to seed root crops because it's waning moon - till April 7.

So I start trenching 4 beds. All by hand very good garden fitness. Then I put cut fresh grass and some comfrey that I had. After that, I poured a mix of compost, tree ash, and biochar. Only natural stuff without any chemistry.

After that, I buried and shaped the beds. I left it possible to water around them or with a drip system. I haven't decided yet. Now I have a lot of water and I don't think about saving. This year I hope/ should have plenty of potatoes so I don't need to buy from the grocery store.

Good order here. I riddled the yard with random 9 to 12 potato beds here and there. Lets see if I can remember where to pour water.

before 2 years I tried to seed them in clusters but it wasn't a good idea, so I kept old fashion way this time :) !BEER
