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.
