In the tapestry of gardening, few practices weave together tradition and technique quite like the cultivation of potatoes.
For modern gardeners, raising potatoes in a square raised bed not only optimizes space but aligns with sustainable practices that nurture both the soil and the soul. Hilling, the simple act of mounding soil around the base of your potato plants, is crucial for protecting them from sunlight and enriching their growth environment. As you mound the earth, consider this not just an act of cultivation but a ritual that connects you to the generations of gardeners who have turned the soil before you.
