I tried the 5 gallon bucket method to grow potatoes, but no luck. Most of the taters were about quarter sized. We used to have rows of potatoes on the farm. One 200 foot of terrace with about six or seven rows three feet apart produced a lot of taters. I saved some onion seed this year and just tossed them into dirt. I think every seed has come up.

I’ve been wanting to try the rubber tire method of growing potatoes. Hubby keeps saying no. We have 4 or 5 tires in the garage that haven’t been used since 1997.

They are studded tires, and fit an old car that just died. It is at the stage that fixing it is more than it is worth, leaking oil, won’t start, dies at every stop sign, been in the shop several times works for a day or two then quits.

Hubby gave up on it, and bought a truck-more fitting for him anyway. So, I am thinking that maybe next spring he’ll let me use those old tires, and I am hoping to get the junkyard to come and get the car.LOL
