Thanks! I have a bag of red something or others on my back porch and need to set them out for when I have some room for a potato tower.

Do you think that a 3 foot round chickenwire potato pillar filled with hay and multi story seed potato plantings would work? (maybe it should be a triangle with the back side to the north?)

That would work like a dream! When my boys were young, we’d use stacked tires to make our towers. Farm livin’! Always had old tires around for some reason.

I don’t think direction matters all that much - we got potatoes no matter where we put the stacks. Tipping them over and ‘bobbing for taters’ was a lot of fun! :)
