In general you dont let spuds grow in the same dirt twice you can get disease in the spuds
little pimples all over them and they tend to rot a lot quicker

I am socked

Here is the pics promised if they will work. Ahh It worked this time. These spuds really taste good too.
There not AP at all but I like them.

I am about to try another thing to amend the soil in my garden. I heard of a method that might work here. It goes like this.
First level out the ground to use. Then cover with 6 to 10 pages of newspaper, not the shiny type the newsprint.
Then wet it down good and wet. This is to kill the weeds and the stuff under neath.
Next put on about 6" of hay or straw.
Next put on about 2" of mulch.
Next another 4" of straw.
last put on another 2 to 4" of mulch and plant seeds and water well.
Keep damp but not real wet.

This was a method found by my wife and I am going to try it. All this stuff should break down and make the soil better. In the meantime you get to grow another crop of stuff. I am going to try winter vegies and hope they don't freeze to death. after all it is going to be a winter crop.
