Love this video, it is clear and covers the basics well without going off at tangents. I have used it in an advice section of my website which is for parents and teachers to get children growing. Do let me know if that is ok with you. You tube won't let me post the link here but it is on The Foodies website (dot org) and is in the How To Section, in Growing Things, on the article about Growing Potatoes In A Vegetable Bed. Thanks for a great video!

Can't wait to try them for the first time! I'll probably do it lke you did.

@jihadacadien It's always best to dig a trench if possible as you break up the soil that the potatoes will grow in and they seem to grow better in the looser soil.

But if your soil's not well cultivated then potatoes are a good crop to break it up for you, if you just dig a hole and plant a spud in it they'll do the work for you.

Cheers,Dan.

@allotmentdiary Oh I try to work all my growing dirt. It gives better results and since my soil is filled with rocks I take time to take a lot of them out.
