- We only sow one acre of potatoes each year. We require them for the use of the house and to fatten one pig which we kill for bacon.
We have no implements of our own, as my father lives in Dublin and mother just hires a fellow to sow the crop. He attends to it during the growing season.
He first ploughs the ground and makes drills. Manure is next spread and the seed which has been cut beforehand is spread, about a foot between each pair of seed.
The ploughs we use in this district are all of iron and are Irish manufacture being made by Pierce and Sons, Wexford. I have heard how wooden ploughs were used in years long ago, but no relics of them now remain.
Potatoes have to be prepared for sowing. A single potato many have seed for three or four potato stalks. All that is necessary is that there is an eye in each seed. From this eye the stalk and root spring out.- Bailitheoir
