  1. Setting Drills

    Share Share Post
    The setting of the potatoes is just beginning.
    People set potatoes in drills and others in ridges.
    When the people are setting potatoes in drills first of all they plough the land and then harrow it and then it is rolled.
    Then the drills are opened with the plough.
    Mother cuts the seed.
    She must leave an eye in every piece.
    The manure is spread in the drills.
    Then the seed is spread on the drills in rows.
    Father closes the drills with the plough and the seed is left to grow.
