They will have to work better than my Tire Potatos.
This evening I dug up a row of trenched potatos and 4 stacks of tire potatos, 14 potatoes in all, with the largest being maybe 2" in dia. and the smallest about 3/4"
Very disappointing!!!
Keep us posted.

WOW, boggybranch--have you harvested and are you getting ready to re-plant those raised beds (next to the potato box)?

Yea d, Those two boxes were where I had taters planted. Haven't put anything back in them, yet. Been trying to kill all the nutgrass in those boxes with Roundup* before I replant. Thinking about moving and putting my strawberries in one of the beds and planting asperagus in the other, come spring. That way I'll have plenty of time to kill the nutgrass and get the soil ready with plenty of compost before planting.ducks4you said:WOW, boggybranch--have you harvested and are you getting ready to re-plant those raised beds (next to the potato box)?
If this tater tower works (and I don't doubt that it will) I'll be planting taters that way from now on instead of "tying up" one or more of my boxes.

Looking good, boggy!! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I planted mine in the ground this year and they really took up way too much room! Layering with straw or just your wonderful compost??

Last two years experimentation with hay and straw being a TOTAL "bust"........it'll be compost and soil, all the way, this time.lesa said:

I'm also curious about tater planting schedules for the deep South, Boggy.

Can you find certified seed potatos that time of year? Around here we can only get them in the Spring.
