I did let them start to dry and they are in paper bags at the moment.

I’m hoping to get them planted before we leave NH, but I need to find starw and stuff to cover them with.

My garden is heavy wet soil at the moment and I’m thinking that the mulching method of growing them will work better than covering them with soil.

I’ve experimented and have grown potatoes in straw bales before, and in rings of tires and in potato bags.

And I’ve heard of people just setting them on the soil and then mulching heavily with straw.

It seems to work! :)
