At harvest I shove a hand into the decomposing mass and wriggle out what
I
need for eating over the next few days and the rest I leave till I need
to
get rid of them to make use of the newly made potato compost.

hehe.....the ground must not freeze solid where you are!

No thank God! Heavy frosts only and that is bad enough. I'd migrate rather
than live with frozen groudn or live in a place where fishing isn't possible
all year round :-))
