Wrong place to ask I know ...but...
Yesterday I noticed a field of potatoes with the crop just emerging. However
unlike the traditional one row of potato plants per mound there were three
rows per wide mound.
Is this a new method ? What's the advantages?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.


So the harvesting machine can be more efficient?
It can do four rows at once and only has to cross the field a quarter of
the times it normally would.
