Potato Bags!

If you are short of space or just want to be able to harvest your potatoes one meal at a time, you might want to check out potato bags.



It's a pretty simple design — a heavy duty poly bag with some drainage holes (perhaps not enough) near the bottom. You insert a plastic ring around the top to hold it open and then plant as you normally would, gradually adding soil as the plants grow.



But the nifty part of the design are the several openings that allow you to harvest potatoes without ripping up the entire plant. I've decided to try them out this year so will report back as to how that all works. I wonder how the plant will take to all that rummaging around?
