potato tuber setting habits
I have read that potatoes can set tubers horizontally or vertically: some above the mother tuber, some beside, and some below. I am curious about this, and would like to know which varieties do what. My reason for asking is depth of planting. I have seen some recommend planting potatoes from as shallow as 3 inches to as deep as 12 inches. I plant 16 inches deep and get huge crops depending on variety. But I would like to refine my practices. Thank you if you can answer me.

Please identify this pesky grass
Hello. First, thanks very much for offering this service. A couple people have told me this is Johnson grass, but I read somewhere that “Johnson grass is in every state except Minnesota“, and since I am only about 30 miles south of Minneapolis, I wonder. If you need a better photo, please let me know and I’ll do what I can. I don’t know if I have any taller examples; we keep mowing the yard. That’s an ordinary 5-inch pocket comb for size estimating. Sincerely, Jim Harris

Dog urine
When dog pees in yard grass turns yellow. Try to get dog to drink more water and also water the grass after urinating. Anything else I can do to help the situation.

Perennial box wood drying
Hello, I planted two box woods in the same location and year after year they are dying. The damage looks to be in the same location. What is causing this? What can I do about it? Is this caused by the dryer vent from winter? You can see the picture of the damage and proximity to the vent. The other boxwoods are doing fine, it's just that one. Thanks!
