Admittedly, I
can't see how you'd do it mechanically, but this was being done
manually by land army girls wanting maximum cropping in wartime.

Er, well it was being done by outside locations staff for a bunch of
actresses playing land army girls and i expect you had to be able to SEE
the potatoes to get the effect of the genuine countryside (or so the
producer thought)

A bit like the railway stations being called train stations!

What a pity they don't do any research.
