Default How do you earth up your potatoes?

Hi All

I am just about to go and earth up my potatoes in the bucket and was
wondering how do others earth theirs up and does it make any difference on
the crop you get.

I generally wait until the tops have shot through the dirt and are about
1-2inches high before earthing up to the underside of the leaves. I have
heard others say that they completely cover theirs...

So how do you earth yours up and how much have you got from your crops?
