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.
How to Plant. Plant potatoes in early spring for a summer crop, in late summer or early fall for a winter/spring crop in mild winter regions. Set tubers or seed potato pieces 2 inches deep, 1-1/2 feet apart. Add loose soil as the plant grows, taking care not to cover stems completely.
