 Thought I would share how we decided to try growing potatoes. This does not take up much space and can easily be done in a small yard. supplies: wire with 2x4 openings (no climb type) straw and soil with NO manure. What we did was make wire cage about 2 1/2 ft diameter. lined it with straw and filled with a little dirt, then added potato seeds around the edges and covered with about 4 inches of dirt. We repeated this until almost reaching the top of the cage. Kind of like making a potato and dirt lasagna. The idea is the potatoes will grow and when time to harvest just dump over the cage and gather them up! Click here for full instructions |
Here is our potato tower today! looking happy.
