   The potatoes are nearly all dug up by a spade. A farmer with an acre or two acres of potatoes generally uses a potato digger. Some farmers plough out their potatoes. This is a bad method for many of the potatoes are covered by the clay. The potatoes are stored in pits in the haggard or field. A shallow trench about two feet wide is made and the potatoes are put into it and built up in the shape of a rick. They are then covered with old hay and outside is placed a coating of clay.

   When the potatoes are stored in the haggard they are generally covered with hay and bog sods.
