We harvested all of the potatoes but discovered a large number of damaged ones. We grew them on top of the dirt under a thick layer of straw, which we continually hilled up as the plants grew. Common practice says that growing potatoes on new soil can attract wire worms, but we did not have that experience. Most of the potatoes that were damaged were rotten or were chewed on by rather sharp teeth, presumably mice. Some of the potatoes developed very interesting shapes as well.
