It's end of winter here so just on time to fill them up and start growin food for the local pests to monch
I've heard that you can grow a FUCK TON of potatoes with these.
What you do is you start the plant in one, let it grow, stack the next planter on top, and gradually fill with soil. Rinse repeat.
OK, this might be a dumb question but...how do you get them out after that? Just knock the tower of boxes over and fish them out that way?
Yeah pretty much. But growing taters in raised beds makes it way easier to harvest than in the ground.
People who grow them in buckets or crates just tip the bucket out.
Interesting, thanks!
It's just the right time to plant, so I am planning to try this!
Is there a risk of lower down potatoes rotting? How tall can you reasonably go
I don't suspect so - I've never tried it, but I would really like to.
I'm also not sure how tall it can get - depends on your growing season and the plant's lifecycle
Very cool!
Well done! Hope to see what you will be growing.
