My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Potato plants are top heavy

10 years ago

I'm growing potatoes for First time and I've been hiling them like I keep reading.. The potato plant is about 16 in tall and keeps falling over even after hilling them.. Should I put a stake in to hold it up or should I cut the plant down some to keep from toppling over??
