No Dig Potatoes from seed to harvest
See the whole process from sowing to earthing up to harvest, by pulling not digging. Potato plants easily root into undisturbed, no dig soil, while developing potatoes need soft, surface material to grow in.

Filmed at Homeacres April to July 2018, in a spring that started cool and wet, then turned hot and dry after 3rd May. South West England zone 8 climate, last frost mid May.
