Ron, I have to admit I like the idea of "mulching" between the rows 
after reading about it recently. Cover the ground between the rows with 
either plastic or chopped straw and it preserves moisture and prevents 
weed growth. I do a lot of roto tilling mine before the plants get too 
big. Mulching might eliminate that job. And maybe hilling too?
Sunshine and blue sky in Sask. , just not quite warm enough to melt much 
snow.
