“I bought the laundry baskets at a local dollar store (I have 2 baskets).  I filled the baskets with about 2″ of soil & compost, then put an organic seed potato into each basket (each potato was cut into about 3 pieces with 2-3 eyes each).  I then covered the potato with soil, and have been gradually filling the baskets with soil as the potatoes grow, simulating “hilling” the potatoes in a garden.  The garden center that recommended this method to me said each basket should yield 8-10 lbs of potatoes.  So far, so good!  It’s been fun with our kids too, because the potatoes are growing out of the holes in the sides of the baskets. Be sure to keep the baskets watered well – it takes some patience (ie – slow watering) to not have all the water run out the sides of the basket.” Reblogged  via.
