Here in Phoenix, I tried it both ways (hilling up with dirt or covering with
straw) at 1/sqft .  They were garden-grown (not in containers).  Just
finished digging all the potatoes this weekend.  I got about 3 times the
yield from the ones in dirt versus those under straw.  Possibly the straw
did not keep the tubers cool enough - may not be a problem in cooler
climates.  -Olin
