So if one is growing in the filed, not containers you don't cover the foliage as it comes out of the ground? I guess in farming it would be called disking?

For your garden variety potato, say red Pontiac do you just drop the seed potato into the ground and let it grow? Do you cover the leaves for the first half of its life? Or better question maybe is how long do you continue to cover the foliage before you harvest?
