Sir Winston Churchill once said, why stand when you can sit, why sit when you can lay down. I like your version of this, why dig potatoes by hand when the mid buster can do it for you!
Used a rake through the fluffed up dirt. Basically just pulling the dirt back into the trench. To guess I’d say 20% were not visible on the surface, but easy to uncover since the ground was real loose.
I have a subsoiler, wonder if that sweep could be purchased separately. I purchased a post brush puller from Titan and it had hose ends that did not fit my tractor so I had to buy new ends at a cost of almost $100. Their answer was that was only ends they stocked. So I bought them twice. Kinda left me with a bad taste.
When I went back and tilled it and made new rows to plant beans I found 4-5 chewed up taters. I did go through loose soil with a rake before tilling and found quite a few more (easily)
Do you find the deer will jump your 4’ electric fence? I’m in nwpa and have just. 28” electric fence around our garden and it keeps the deer out. They don’t attempt to jump it at all.
Great Question! Last year I only had the one garden down the hill a bit from this one, and had the electric fence up all the way around it and the deer did jump my fence to get to my crops. This year I added the 7' mesh fence and so far, no breaches by any non-flying critters so far in either the upper or lower garden.
Time for some TnT French Fries 😋😋
Fries would be awesome, but I'll take Potatoes almost any way you cook them.

Wise words
i liked that. how do you know that you got them all? Did you have to go through again to make sure you got ones that maybe didn't get exposed?

I know you can buy them on Amazon, not sure though if bolts would line up. Let me find you a link.

How many pounds do you think you didn't find? Sure made it look easy. Much better than digging by hand.

@@TryNewThings That is not a bad run.
