Potatoes break up the ground

So everyone will tell you, growing Potatoes breaks up the ground but I think its the act of growing Potatoes that breaks up the ground...not the Potatoes themselves, consider this...

You dig the ground over to get the seed Potatoes in the ground in the first place, you earth up a couple of times (more ground breaking), then finally you dig them up and dig over looking for strays...THATS how Potatoes break up the ground, YOU break the darned ground planting growing and harvesting them.

(Yes, I spent the morning digging up our Int Kids ! )
