We have been cutting down on the types and number of potatos as they just do not seem to like growing here. We suspect it is because of a lack of soil depth.

This main bed 4C (8’x23′ or 180 ft^2) was prepped with 5 bags of composted sheep manure (0.5,0.5,0.5) or approx 1 bag per 36ft^2 and approx 1 yard of triple mixed earth.
