Should it be dome up or dome down and how moist should the compost be

The top side of the tuber can be identified as it is concave, whereas
the bottom is convex. ie: dome down, Even so, it is not always
immediately obvious, so look for the scar left by the previous year's
stem which is on the top side. You may also notice the new minute buds
by the side of the scars, which will give this year's plant growth.

Moist but not damp , bury with a very light surface layer of peat.
