[AT] potato planting

[Herb Metz]

Ron, List your ground, then relist by splitting the rows; however go slow 
enough during the splitting of the rows so the new ridges have a small 
furrow right down the center of the new ridge. Plant the potatoes in this 
small furrow; they will have 6" of loose, freshly tilled soil on both sides 
of them and below them.  And if you want to fertilize them, throw some 
manure in the furrows created during the first listing.

Ron you can do it either way.  It really doesn't matter as long as you have
plenty of dirt to plow
up onto the plants as they grow.   If you plant on top of the row either
knock it down flat on top
or use a row opener of some sort to cut a furrow in the top of the ridge.

Okay, It is finally getting straightened up so I can get my spuds in the
ground.  I am using a lister to make the rows.  My question is: do I
plant the potatoes in the furrow or on the ridge?
