- Addn. : A wheel-plough, harrow & roller are used when preparing the ground. They re-plough it with a swing-plough & make drills. Some people make ridges with a spade & shovel. An 'eye' is left in each sciollán. Some spread the manure on the ground before they plough it for the crop. Spraying is done in the end of June. A mixture of blue-stone, soda & water is used. The potatoes are sprayed three times. The good potatoes are selected. "Flanders, Champions, Gartans & Kidneys are used here.
