Earthing up container potatoes

[AdeyT]

Hi all,

I'm new and apologise if my question is in the wrong section.

I have potatoes growing in bags outside in the garden, my question is, when adding more compost to the bags should I cover all the leafs and stems completely or just try and cover the stems and keep the most/some of the leafs exposed?

Thanks

Welcome to the vine Adey. As you can see from the link that more often than not there is no definitive answer, and it is a case of doing what you think is best. Even mistakes can often turn out OK.
