Re: Growing potatoes?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi Debbie,
I'm not sure about the spacing for sqft but we planted our about a foot
apart zig-zap fashion in 2 -  2 x 16 beds.  One thing we did do is to line
the bottom of the bed with a 1/4 inch mesh garden screen.  The last time we
planted potatoes (8 years ago) we had a terrible problem with moles.  They
had a real feast on the little new potatoes.  This may not solve the problem
but it may help. They couldn't find one potato and eat the whole thing, they
had to eat some of every single one in the bed!
Good luck
Cathy
