Newspaper Potatos

I learned this quick and efficiant way to grow potatos, from a very helpful DVD, called: Homestead Blessings, the Art of Gardening!

All you have to do is...

Take your ready to plant potatos, lay some newspaper down on any part of dirt in your yard (you can do this to the amount of potatos that you have). Place your potatos on top of the newspaper, about a couple inches away from each other...next place a good thick layer of straw over the top of the newspapers and potatos, be sure that it is really thick so that it will be dark. To harvest them, all you have to do is pull away the straw and grab your potatos...that way you don't have to split them when you "dig" them up! :-P Do not be afraid of watering them! :-D

You can get "The Art of Gardening" from this website...Click Here you can watch them demonstrate how to do it on that DVD!

Have Fun Gardening,
