I planted 5lbs each of White Cobbler and Yukon Gold potatoes. I dug a trench about 9 inches deep and then broke up the substrate with a potato fork. Then I back filled the trench with compost, and planted the potatoes on nine inch centers with rows nine inches apart.Then I dug a new trench and did it all over again.I used whole potatoes about the size of eggs and didn't cut them. The stick is how I marked where they were planted, then as I advanced and covered them I knew where to plant the next row.
