Growing Potatoes In Tires

Ever thought of growing potatoes in tires.

Fill the first tire with compost and put you seed potatoes on the surface of the compost. The roots will grow down into the compost. Put another tire on top and partially fill with wood chips or sawdust. As the potato plants grow about 8″ above the surface, add a bit more sawdust or wood chips. When the tire is full add another tire up to 4.

Why the sawdust or wood chips? Your potato crop will form above the seed potatoes and will not have any dirt on them. You don’t have to wash them.
