My wife and I planted 200 lbs of potatoes in an hour and half yesterday with a one row potato planter based on Fresh Picked Acres (Ed Schneider) design and we weren't tired. It made planting potatoes a breeze.
Use the mulch method, twice the yield
Did you mention where you get your seed potatoes?
Indeterminates ?
Quick question:
Are your potatoes producing as much as they should for the space you're using?
Most of the difference comes down to how the farm is planned before planting ever starts.
I’ve outlined the full Total Farm Planning System here:

This is the system behind how we grow crops like these potatoes.
Keep Farming!
Why arent you keeping your own seed? Why are you buying seed potatoe?
Hilling ? Too much work use the hay mulch
Everything you say makes sense but I would be concerned about not getting enough air flow to keep blight down with really close spacing like that. I'm in a wet climate though. Thanks for the vid!
