- Before the potatoes are set, the ground must be ploughed, harrowed, and crushed well. When the ground is ploughed, the surface is broken, and then the harrow makes clay. Then the drills are opened with a double board plough, and the manure is spread in them. Then the potatoes are laid, each about a foot apart. Then the drills are closed with a double board plough, and well rolled to prevent the crows from taking the seed.
