    manure in them and also a lot of bag manure.
    You want to plough to well for potatoes and then harrow it well to. You want to put a grate dail of spray on the potatoes and you should spray them well. You should give them a (doo) good weeding because if you dont the weeds will smother them. If you want a good crop it is a good thing to set them early. When you dig the potatoes you want to put them in a pit.
