Do what with the who now?

Think this is the "I am not going to understand anything said here" thread for the month

We used to at home too but we've some kind of a cunty worm in the soil that destroys the spuds. Half of them are rotten when dug up. Kinda heart breaking when we had to dig the drills by hand. I miss having calluses on my hands......

Yea my dad had a plot in a local park and he lost 80% of his to something similar. So far I have been lucky. I have tried about 20 different "old wives tale" kind of solutions to avoid it - so perhaps I got lucky - or perhaps one of them actually works - I will never know probably

But everything from what you grow beside them - to rotating the potato types and positions each time you plant - to sprinkling this that or the other on the area - to how long you let them sit growing roots before you plant them in the ground - and so forth. I have tried loads of things.
