Some 'earth up' their spuds more than others and some remove the flowers to concentrate growth below soil level. Water helps more than either.

We are growing potatoes (in an IKEA bin) for the first time this year, and are trying to unearth a reasonably-definitive earthing up procedure. Should we bury the emerging shoots completely? I am thinking that some extremely thorough earthing-up would make the best use of the height of the container.
