Potatoes

• Direct sow April 16

Potatoes are supposed to be fairly easy to grow and ave a fairy high yeild. There's a good method for growing them with tires, but I'm afraid that would leach chemicals into the soil. I want to try something similar with untreated wood. Make a couple square pieces with plastic on the inside, just like the SQFG.

I planted some in 2012. Instead of planting a whole potato, apparently you get it to start sprouting, then cut it up so you get separate sprouts and plant those. Need to do more research next year. UPDATE: they did just fine, grew very strong, don't know about yield yet.
