Not saying that this maths translates, but the small pot concept could be valid as you are giving your plants about half that volume?

Can't work out if this is an endorsement or critique :)

I think the 4 earlies idea is because they're determinate potatoes so only grow on one level and don't (wouldn't) need mounding up. You sow two opposite each other in the bottom third and two concurrent on the second third before covering again. I watched a video on youtube I'll find later. Anyways, I've still got some to plant and I'll assess the pot experiment at harvest time.

Neither my friend- just idly thought I’d do a bit of maths and see where it led to!

This year I’ve just planted seed spuds in holes and covered the lot with manure (No mounds involved). Mine are looking super vigorous too (most of the earlies are in flower).

Experimentation is half the fun!
