FYI. These were potatoes I grew one season in potato sacks. We were selling them at the store, so I had to test them out. I put them up on cinder blocks for better drainage because the holes were all on the bottom of the sack. When are manufacturers/designers going to understand that holes placed about 2" up from the bottom, provide MUCH better drainage, especially if these sacks get soaked in a downpour? BUT - nobody ever asks me! ;) They produced about a dozen potatoes, each.

Mine are a few inches above the soil in my big tub. A sigh of relief I planted 6 halves with eyes - they were pretty small.
