We test fill the trench to find a natural level to enable water to fill the trench evenly. Final level adjustments are made while the trench is filling. Thanks Guys and Gals. Great job!

Many of our plants DO NOT like foliage watering. Water is directed to the roots of the plant by building a trench and filling with water. Soil from the trench building is used to build-up the level of soil around the potato plants. Potatoes and tomatoes like being topped up with soil- this will encourage root growth along the stem and potato setting in the 'new' soil.
