The inflammation in joints causes spasms in the muscles adjacent to the joints, which is probably why people have hand cramps, explained Richard Brasington, MD, a rheumatologist at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis.
Grow 1 plant to yield 5 to 10 potatoes. Yield 10 to 20 pounds per 10-foot row. Space seed potatoes 10 to 14 inches apart in trenches 24 to 34 inches apart.
Trench-grown potatoes typically emerge from the ground within two to four weeks of planting, depending on soil temperature. When your seedling potatoes reach 6 to 8 inches tall, pile a mound of loose soil around the base of each plant to within 1 inch of the lowest leaves.
