I grow potatoes in a no dig style. To do this, I use a bulb planter and plant a seed potato directly into the ground. I don’t do anything else except perhaps water the plants if it’s dry. There is no need to earth them up as they will produce potatoes out to the side. When they’re ready to harvest, I dig up armfuls of beautiful spuds and store them in a cool, dry place with the dirt still on them.
