I know that I've told this story before here: but, I once planted an area about 25' by 50' to potatoes. I just pushed the seed potatoes a little into freshly tilled ground and covered them with rain-spoiled alfalfa hay. With attention to spacing, they came up between the thick flakes of hay (it wasn't really in such bad shape) and grew well.
Towards the end of their season, I knew something was wrong.
At harvest, I discovered only 1 potato that hadn't been chewed on by the voles . No, I don't remember how far I threw that potato into the trees!
I vowed never to try that again and just collected the rain-spoiled alfalfa for my compost piles and to work into the soil.
