I haven’t yet tried planting potatoes in pots. I’ll be interested to hear how yours turn out. How does the community garden stuff work in your area? Is it a city or county thing? What kind of rules do you have?
Well right now, our community garden is just here in our little town. We have 6 members who are picking our their
spots. No rules yet, except they will keep their veggies
within their raised garden confines, keep the pathways free
of debree. I’ve heard it sometimes takes up to 5 years for
everything to meld, and this coming spring will be one year.
I’ll see what happens to the potatoes, it will begin with
about 4 inches of compost/soil, covered with straw, then as
the leaves appear, I’ll add more straw and compost tea. I
have no idea what I’m doing, but it’s interesting. I’m
thinking of doing some radishes in perlite and fertilizer, in a clear plastic container so the kids can see it growing.
I don’t know if it will work, but it’s worth a try, I’ll set the container in another clear one with fertilizer water
in it, after the roots begin growing into the water.
