Does anyone have experience growing potatoes in a hefty bag with drain holes cut into it? We used to grow potatoes but they are hard to dig at our ages. And what medium would you use? Thanks in advance

When my boys were little, we’d grow potatoes in stacks of old tires. They loved it, and we got a LOT of potatoes that way.

We weren’t NEARLY as meticulous as this tutorial instructs, and it worked just fine.

You could achieve the same effect in any large, wide container with drainage, I’d imagine.
