Growing No Till VegetablesNog Till PotatoesHere's what my Daddy did when he planted potatoes. He dug a lil furrow and planted potatoes and covered them ever so lightly with dirt. Then he covered that with a little hay. Then as the plants grew, he covered with more hay. He kept doing that until plants were waist high. Then when potaoes were ready to harvest, he would just turn back the hay and there were the potaoes. No digging.By Pam819 Growing VegetablesWhen starting your garden, mow the grass short, place cardboard or thick layers of newspapers over the top. On top, you put horse or sheep manure, lawn clippings, weeds, lucerne hay. It will work well with potatoes until it starts to break down. Just make sure to put plenty of covering over your potatoes as they grow because they will be green if they aren't covered up from the sun. Next year you will be able to plant peas, zucchinis, tomatoes, pumpkins or cucumbers. The year after, you can plant beans or corn as the soil develops. Good luck!Feel free to post your ideas below. |
