- We put down potatoes at home and it is my brothers who prepares the ground. First of all the ground manured with farmyard and artifical manure and then the potatoes are put down.
When they are growing they have to be freed from weeds and then when the are about four inches above the ground they are molded and sprayed a few months after that they are dug and put into pits in which they are stored for the winter.- Collector
