It notes pigs prefer softer third or fourth cuts, and advises feeding via troughs, while highlighting alfalfa as poultry feed, recommending the last, leaf-rich cut and methods like chopping and soaking before mixing with grain.
How to Grow Irish Potatoes in the Garden
A rich sandy loam and high potash fertilizer suit Irish potatoes. For late crops, plant rows 2 1/4 to 3 feet apart with hills 14 to 18 inches apart. Plant pieces in furrows, cover 4 inches, and keep soil warm and weed-free with regular cultivation. As plants grow, mound soil to support and tighten the row.
