- (continued from previous page)In Autumn the potatoes are dug with a machine called a 'digger'. This machine puts the potatoes in a row so then it is easy to pick them. The owners of the potatoes pick them accompanied by neighbours. The potatoes are stored in pits. The pit consists of a trench about three feet wide. In this the potatoes are clamped up and covered with straw and earth. The local types of potatoes are Kerr Pinks, Golden Wonders, Champions, Kidneys and Arran Banners.
