So..... last years 1st attempt at growing potatoes was a bust. Built a wire cage everything looked good but the straw I used to top up filled with black mold and I never peeked underneath. Shoots got to be about
36" high. I was getting ready to level what was left to make way for herbs but noticed some new potato shoots coming up and was tempted to hill up with soil. Can I just try again without disturbing the pile? I know little about potatoes.
