Growing potatoes in containers works. This video shows you the process of back-filling the container once the potato stems grow. The idea is to fill the container with soil, hay or similar to about 1/2 to 3/4 the stems growth. You do this several times as the stems grow. I was actually a little late in the video. Potatoes will grow out from the stems! This is how you increase your potato yield in containers.
Hi Gary,
ReplyDeleteThat's a very informative video. Could you please tell me what size container you are growing your potatoes in and how many plants you are encouraging in this container?
That is an 18 gallon container I believe. Fill it about 5 inches. Plant the potatoes about 3 inches deep. Don't need to be perfect. I believe 3 medium size potatoes went in there. All in a row.
