“Long ago people sowed potatoes in ridges. ...”
Long ago people sowed potatoes in ridges. Some people sowed them in the sides of mountains and drew the manure on their backs. The ridges are to be seen to this day. First they used to dig the place spread scilans) or slits) cover them with sea weed and cover that with clay. Timber plough's they used and black thorn bushes for harrows
The Champions were the best potatoes around. The people now have not much trouble because they have harrows, and ploughs and many other ways to cultivate land.
