Adding a second level and more soil mix to the potato box. 5/3/2010
Our experiment with a vertical potato box seems to be going well. The idea is to cover the bottom 1/3 of the plant every time it gets 12″ out of the soil. The branches then work their magic and turn into potatoes. Below is a shot of the potatoes less than a month ago. Right now the tops of the plants are about 3′ tall.
Adding a second level and more soil/pine straw mix to our potato box.
Have any of you grown potatoes like this in the past? I’d love to hear your success stories. You can reach us via Twitter @PlantandEnchant
