“Ideally, the best container for potatoes is soft-sided, like a sack, with sides that can be rolled or folded down for the initial planting.”
That is exactly what I have.
“As the greens grow six inches tall, add more potting mix, repeat this process until either blooms occur, or green growth fades.”
Do you mean cover up the six inches of growth and do that every time it’s six inches tall?
Add about 4 inches of potting mix to six inch tall greens. This leaves a couple of inches of green exposed to sunlight. Unfold the soft-sided container as needed to accommodate the new potting medium, while allowing sunlight to reach the new growth.
Hey, Marcella,
look over here. Lots of pretty pictures..I was looking for this since I bought seed potatoes that I wasn’t really intending to buy this morning..
I’ve grown them in dirt before, but never in bags.
