I have two 18-gal bins with Yukon Gold in one and Kennebec/Red Pontiac in the other. There is 6 inches of good compost in the bottom and then as the potatoes leafed out, I have been filling the bins in with very well rotted shredded leaves. The bins are a little over half full of leaves now.

The other day I saw one flower on the Yukons, but there haven't been any more flowers. I have not been watering since they are moist and cool in the leaves. Full sun. Do I need to keep filling around the stems up to the top of the bin before they flower? They are really robust and I don't want to do anything at this point to deter a decent harvest. Here's a photo

Thank you -
