Bucket potatoes? Tell me more!
This sounds like fun, are you growing them like this?

Yeah, same basic deal. 5 gallon bucket with drain holes, gravel, weed barrier, 4 inches of soil, plant 2 or 3 seed chunks, keep adding dirt as the shoots start to peek through to keep the potatoes from turning green. Should yield about 40 lbs per bucket by the time the dirt gets to the top.Quote:

We have good luck with Green Peppers, Tomatoes and Egg Plants the past couple of years. Beans are always working.
How much dirt are you putting on top of the shoots? When do you harvest?Quote:
