Don't use weed killer. Just dig it (double digging is best) and remove
the weeds as you go.

I agree with Emrys. Poisonous herbicides like Roundup are not suitable
for use where food plants are to be grown.

Alan--do you ever think about what happens to "commercial" potatoes plants
before the crop is harvested.



In this context, it doesn't matter what happens to commercial potatoes.
Most gardeners growing their own crops do so to avoid the poisons associated
with commercially-grown crops (excepting organic produce, of course).
