Small Potatoes Prove Worth on Tiny Plots in 19th Century Test
A correspondent from East Bridgewater argues for growing many small potatoes as seed, sharing practical experiences from 1853 to 1854 and 1855. He notes harvests totaling about 115 bushels from a small yard, criticizes shallow plowing, and supports deep tillage with judicious manuring. He also mentions rye for rotation and the introduction of Ray Gosse in agriculture.
