You do not need a large garden to grow potatoes. Try stacking them vertically as they grow, then you can expect to yield good quantities from each stack.

These are 300 Bags of Potatoes! |
You can make your container from a wide variety of materials:
· Hessian sacks - cheap, practical and looks good
· Nylon garden grow bags or sacks,
· Re-purposed trash cans or laundry baskets with drainage holes drilled,
· or even, the most simple of all, a roll of chicken wire filled with straw and soil.
Whichever one you chose, start with a layer of straw at the bottom then add a layer of compost and another of soil on top. Press your seed potatoes into the soil with the sprout pointing upwards and cover with one more layer of soil. Give it a sprinkle of water and within a week or so you Will see some green foliage starting to poke through. When they are around 10-15cms tall you can think about adding another layer.
