[AT] potato ground

[David Bruce]

Of course there is a difference in scale between farming and most 
gardens (not my dad's back in the day because he "farmed" his garden). 
If one grows in an intensive form it is often easier to replenish the 
soil as opposed to rotating crops.  My garden is no where large enough 
so I could do any effective rotation.  I also grow my potatoes in 
repurposed cattle supplement tubs.  End of the season I just turn them 
over and harvest.  That works fine on a very small scale but would not 
have for my grandpa who grew a quarter acre of potatoes each year. 
Grandpa also "farmed" his gardens <g>.
