- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)feet wide is harnessed to an ass which pulls it down the furrow breaking the sods into mould. This mould is shovelled up on the ridge.When the stalks are growing the farmer sprays them with blue stone to prevent a disease called "blight" which gives the stalks a yellow colour and therefore ruins the potato crop.Spraying is done as follows. The blue stone is tied in a bag and steeped in a tub of water during night. Washing soda is melted and mixed with the blue stone and the mixture is put into a barrel.This mixture is put on the growing stalks with a heather besom or spraying machine. Spraying is usually done on a good day because the rain would wash the blue stone away.
