Hi, my earlies have gone mad, from no signs to fast growth literally overnight which is brill as it's my first time with spuds.

But how often do I earth them up? I can put earth over and the next day they are through again. Is there a height of leaves I should aim for before doing it? I was worried about frosts ect but there doesn't seem to be so many now (touch wood). My raised bed looks like it's got moles at the mo!

I only earth mine up to the bottom of the leaves, about once a week during a growth spurt.
