Grow potatoes in Grow Bags 🥔 Comment LINKS for my Potato growing resources and link to the grow bags I use.
Here’s how to do it:
• Place a 3-4 inch layer of loose soil, amended with compost, in the bottom of the container. (Roll down the sides of the container if desired.) Potatoes prefer slightly acidic soil.
• Plant seed potatoes sprouted side up in soil and cover them with 2-3 inches of additional soil.
• As potatoes sprout, cover the sprouts halfway when they are about 6 inches tall.
• Continue this process until the top of the container is reached, at this point, the plant will continue to grow without being covered up.
(Hilling the potatoes ensures that determinate potatoes are not exposed to sunlight and turn green, ensuring a larger harvest of indeterminate varieties.)
• When you are ready to harvest the entire container, gently dump it into a wheelbarrow, carefully not to damage the potatoes. Let potatoes cure for a few hours in the shade outside. Brush loose soil off the potatoes, and store them in a cool, dry place until ready to use them.
