You mean one of these Dave?

We sent a kid all over the shop looking for one of those once. Even had the 
fabricating company next door in on it.

Back on topic, our potatoes are looking decent. The land had a few too many 
clods when we planted but it was getting late in the year and they had to be 
planted. I couldn't cover them real deep since it was cool and they were 
calling for lots of rain. Next year I want to plant them in a higher bed so 
I don't have to worry about excessive rain.

Ron, I have always planted my potatoes about 4" above the ridge. I suspend 
them on a string which is attached to a skyhook.

PS, Never had real good luck with the procedure. Which is probably why I now 
raise, mostly, tomatoes and peppers!
