This year's #MinimalDisturbance potato strategy. Mainly documenting for my own sake.

- Pulled back all the loose stuff on the bed to either side.
- Troweled the seed potatoes just far enough into the firm soil underneath that I can say "yes I buried them in actual soil" to my dad with a straight face if he asks*.
- Pulled about half the existing loose stuff back over them. Will use the rest in mounding up later along with new mulchy stuff
- Mulched with a good thick layer of lawn clippings.

* Potatoes of course are simultaneously probably the lowest value-added thing you can grow at home and the Holiest of Holy crops. I am absolutely fucking with tradition here by not conducting huge ceremonial earthworks to bury them in. I didn't plan to do this while my parents were out but was fairly happy they weren't around for plausible deniability reasons. 🤫
