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.

Hi and thanks. I could not manage tires, or even a big container and I have lots of big patio planters. Those days are over. I could manage a hefty bag or maybe double up one that I could just take the potatoes out and spread out the dirt afterwards. Would probably just set it in the garden bed. This is all I can handle.
