VARI Modular System - Hilling Potatoes [Video]

Hilling Potatoes - When the potato vines grow to about 6-8 inches above the soil surface, more soil or organic material is hilled up around the young potato seedlings so that only the top leaves stick out of the ground. This forces new tubers and new potatoes to grow under the new mound of soil. When the potato vines again reach 6-8 inches above the soil surface, they are hilled up again.
