>... After the tubers sprout and grow a few inches, I mix
the soil I dug out with compost and use it fill in the
hole as the growing plant emerges.
>I probably backfill 3 times over the emerging plant.

*Like a leek, and partly why "bag" & container growing
work well... easy to keep filling.  Potatos need shade on
the tuber, or become green, under the skin.

>I don't plant mine as early as February because it's
still very rainy then and they'd likely rot instead of sprout.

at least.
