I have heard that potatos can be planted in mediums other than soil which will make harvesting them easier. Can any body help me out here? I have heard about straw, and even newsprint (will the ink hurt anything). It seems like a raised bed with potatoes planted in straw would be wonderful. Probably too good to be true. Thank you. Stan.
