I've been growing spuds in trash cans for the last couple of years and its probably the one vegetable that I really look forward to growing (& eating) the most. I have one question though that I cannot find an answer to. When adding the new layers of compost/leaves/straw do I cover up all the leaves and just leave a couple poking out of the top, or only layer to the first set of leaves?
Cover up all of the new leaves. With straw/leaves, some bits will stick out but it's no big deal. If you take a closer look at the new leaves, you'll notice nodules at the intersections. Those are the new taters. :) Good luck!
