Sometimes things just won't grow the way you want them to, so you have to come up with another plan. That is what we are doing with our potatoes this year. We planted 10 pounds of potatoes in 4 large Amazon boxes.

Check back in the fall to see if this was a good plan. It can't be any worse than the previous growing years! It is definitely worth a try!

Here is a list of things needed...
*sturdy boxes, the larger the better
*chicken wire, enough to wrap the boxes
*straw, enough for 6-8" per box and then enough to cover as the potatoes grow (we used 3/4 of a square bale for our four boxes)
*compost or composted manure, enough for 4" per box
*seed potatoes, these can be cut into smaller pieces with an "eye" on each piece. If you cut them allow the cut edge to dry for a day or two so that it doesn't rot after planting
*the hope that this will work...lol

Enjoy!
