Default Planting potatoes --- black polythene
What's the general opinion on planting potatoes beneath black polythene
sheets?

Most of my gardening books suggest that method (*); the main argument
against seems to be lack of elegance and slugs and snails.

(*) Including my favourite, Mr. (Geoffrey) Smith's Vegetable Garden, 33
years after it's publication.

Best regards,

Jon C.
