- My father usually prepares our garden for the potato crop. The ground is never manured before being turned up. The potatoes are sown in ridges. The ground is dug with a bought spade. The potatoes are prepared by cutting in two with a few "eyes" in each half. The potatoes are sown a foot from each other.When the stalks begin to appear they are moulded with clay. The potatoes are dug according as we use them.
