Hi Heather the no dig potatoes is something I have been reading about. I'm going to try it this year, you have to save your old newspaper. Lay the newspapers out in a row ten pages thick only the black and white no colored or slick ones. Wet the newspaper good next put the seed potatoes on top of the newspaper, cover with soil then add three to four inch layer of straw. When it starts to come up out of the ground add more straw, make sure you keep it covered keep it well watered. You can also go to this site www.no-dig-vegetable garden.com it is really a helpful site. I live in south east Georgia it is still cold here, but I'm going to start some seeds inside next week. Good luck with the potatoes.
