    Last year I used dollar store laundry baskets that were on sale for $.50! I lined them with paper saved from shipping boxes that was used as packaging. It worked wonderfully! i used the same method that you use. When it was time to harvest I spread a tarp next to the basket and tipped it over (to save the soil so I could reuse it). There they were, all the potatoes!!!! So easy to harvest! (I used potatoes from Aldi's that had sprouted). Thank You Lord!!!!!!!

    I have been trying to have a sustainable garden for the last 6 years but to no avail. Last year I started throwing my fruit and vegetable scraps in plastic containers and boxes.. On Christmas morning I fell down and I wind up needing a Pacemaker on December 26 ...I went thru therapy and when I went home I mostly stayed in my bedroom. Two weeks ago my housekeeper opened the patio door to let some fresh air in and to our surprise every box and plastic tubs had plants growing out of them She pulled out avocado and mango beautiful 1 ft. plants. there were also small lemon, potatoes, watermelon mulberry , strawberry, chili . banana, bell pepper plants growing.
    My whole back patio is full of plants...I am so excited..I still cannot go outside so I will sit all day and watch them grow. They are growing with no soil...amazing! I suppose they will wilt if they don't get planted in dirt somewhere .. Whatever will be will be. YAHWEH IS GREAT THERE IS POWER IN YAHWEH'S ALMIGHTY BENEVOLENT MERCIFUL NAME. The plants and I are regrowing together.

    Hello Mrs. H, Did you know that potatoes are determinate and indeterminate like tomatoes. Keep reference to know the difference, keeping in the body part theme. If the eyes develop look skinny like fingers they determinate. If eyes develop look thick short like toes they indeterminate. Determinate grows down under & wide of the seed potato. Indeterminate grows above & close to the plant stem as soil is added. Fingers/determinate plant high on a mound or hill. Toes/indeterminate plant deep in shallow soil,add soil as the plant grows to increase harvest. I ain't telling you what to do, but I'm in the strong suggestion business! Happy growing, I already know you will research this information. Just wanted to share with you, because I was so frustrated with previous harvesting and now this information improved my yield. I love watching y'all.

    I'm planning to plant my potatoes in boxes, too. I watched a progression on planting potatoes this way from start to harvest on another channel, and I waa shocked how productive they were! He just turned up the flaps from both enda, put 6" planting mix, plant potatoes, then covered with straw or leaves. He put more straw or leaves on as the plants grew. I forked too many in the garden bed last year! Boxes it is.

    Just luv your videos. I learn something new from every video. I have grown potatoes for several years. Last year I used any container that would hold dirt. Feed bags, old buckets, cloth grocery tote bags. This year I'm going to use cardboard boxes too. Thank you Mrs. H. 🧑‍🌾

    A drain pan for under a water heater works well as a water catcher under a large planter. They come with a drain plug on the side that a hose screws onto so you can then drain any excess water over the side or into a bucket to be used in another planter and not drip down onto a neighbor or flood your patio.

    I'm a new listener! So glad to find you. I am limited as to what I can do right now up here in Montana as it is still snowing every day and I'm going stir crazy! Your video is wonderful friendly and satisfying that green thumb itch till the weather breaks for me. I'm going to try out your box method this year for my potatoes.
