AFFORDABLE. When compared to the cost of fresh produce, these grow bags are a slam dunk. Not only can you grow a larger variety of potatoes than found at your local market, you don’t have to worry about the consequences of feeding your family toxic chemicals and pesticides. Minimal space requirements ensure productive use of valuable porch space. As low as $7 per unit.
DURABLE. Made from tear-resistant, UV-stabilized polyethylene, these grow bags are designed to be reused year after year. Featuring dual handles and re-enforced drainage holes, each bag is it’s own self-contained, movable raised garden bed. Resin fabric will not rot or decay. VERSATILE. Ideal for the urban gardener who has only a sunny porch or patio. However, many gardeners find these are more convenient for growing potatoes than direct cultivation in the ground. Easier to control hungry critters and better for monitoring pests and disease. Integrates well with drip irrigation systems. The real convenience is found when it comes time to harvest: digging out the taters from the bag is less damaging via the bottom access flap than if you were to use a hoe out in the garden. In addition, few (if any) taters are missed. FEATURE-RICH.- Webbed handles for easy relocation to sunnier spots

Fastest results achieved when using seed tubers, instead of actual potato seeds. This planter has been designed for the true potato (tuberous varieties of the Solanaceae family), but may work favorably with other root crops, including yacon, sweet potato, cassava, edible dahlia and oca. Setup first planter after all danger of frost has passed. Subsequent bags should be planted at 1 to 2 week intervals to extend the harvesting season. Companion plants for the potato include marigold and scallions.
Traditionally, potatoes are ‘hilled up’ with soil and mulch to prevent exposing the tubers to sunlight. Since tubers appear along the stem of the plant and not in the roots, more potatoes are theoretically produced if the stem can be allowed to grow longer (with the continuous addition of mulch to protect the tubers).
