Vertical Potato Growing

[HawkinsHollow]

Has anyone tried the vertical potato growing method? I have tried it twice, once in a large grow bag and I was quite impressed with the harvest. I also tried it again last summer with wooden sides, and that did not go very well. Looking for advice on what works for you if you do it. I really would like to give it a good try again. Thanks

We tried Yukon Gold potatoes in growing bags with great success. Sure beats digging them out of the ground. In the fall we would just dump the bag in the wheelbarrow, pick out the potatoes and done.

6 old car tires, add one when the plant will extend over the top of the 2 one, 3 one, etc. Harvesting is the reverse. The bottom side of each tire holds a bit of water too.
