Potatoes in a bag

[Dee Sa]

any tips for growing potatoes in those green bags, I tried last year and failed miserably.

Mine were not hugely successful last year. This year I've done it differently.

I put about 6 inches of soil in the bottom, then the spuds then about another 6 inches. When the green shoot came through I kept adding more soil until the bag was full. Mine are now about to flower so fingers crossed I got it right.

[ummmm]

Mine are going mental....

I got some potato bags from the garden centre (3) Followed the instructions and had 12 potato plants in about two weeks. We even shoved one straight into the garden soil, just to see, and that also sprouted at the same time...

(we don't have much else going on in our garden though)

[ummmm]

And like BM says.....I'm having to re-cover them with more soil about every three days...

This is my first time so I don't know when they'll be ready to flower...

many thanx to all.

Trying them myself this year for the first, I've done the same as Barmaid, all seems to be going well so far.

Make sure you don't either over- or under-water them. They like moist soil but if you drown them they will rot.
