- "Acre and a half under potatoes, sometimes more & sometimes less planted.
My father prepares the ground, which is manured with stable & stall manure before being ploughed up.
The potatoes are sown in ridges.
The ridges are ploughed into six sods with a trench between every six lines of sods.
The ridge is hacked with a grafan, and sciolláin (or pieces of potatoes with an eye in each) is put into holes in the ridge - about 1 ft apart. The holes are made with a spade, which was bought in a shop. We do not get local help for the sowing.
When the stalk appears above the ground, earth is put up around the stalk, to keep the frost from it.
In summer the potatoes are sprayed 3 times with washing soda and bluestone.
We dig the potatoes in Autumn with a spade and put them in a pit to store them. We put the ones for immediate use in a loft, and keep the seed ones in a pit.To make a pit.
Dig a rectangle abt 1 ft deep, line it with rushes, put the potatoes in and cover over with rushes, bracken and straw.
We grow Champion, May Queen, Golden Wonder, and Kerr Pinks and British Queens.
Aran Banner grows best in our district.
