For those who don’t know, the Ruth stout method is just laying your seed potatoes on the ground of covering with straw or hay.
I did not water these, and once the plants died back I just raked away the straw and these potatoes were laying on top of the soil, or about an inch deep.
They are tiny because I ended up planting them later than I should have and the heat was too much for them in the middle of summer.
Overall it was a great trial run and I plan to give it another go next year.
Thanks for linking, but that article is rough. It reads like its written by AI. Very verbose and not saying much.
Ruth apprently wrote several books about the method. Heres an excerpt:
