    Great video. I have been planting seed potatoes in grow bags. No digging involved except to shovel in compost from my bins. Grow bags makes harvesting very easy, but I see that you were more or less able to pull all the potatoes up by the stems and leaves. Digging up potatoes with a spade or fork tends to result in damaging several.
