When you go to harvest some, lift the straw, remove the (dirt-free) spuds you need, and replace the straw to let the others continue to grow and form. Nifty, huh?

The husks keep the moisture and flavor in (unlike boiling); they keep it warm until you're ready to eat it; and the silks all come off easily, mostly in one bunch. What more could you want?

He didn't lift a single scoop of dirt from my back yard.

I think when he lost his girlfriend that that was the last straw for him. She was his everything.

When you lose guys like that, you have to find a way to replace them.

This is the last straw.
