\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in the spring I decided to try growing potatoes in clean, empty feed bags. \u00a0The kind that are made of that plastic\/nylon material. \u00a0I was so pleased with the results so I thought I’d share how I did it with you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u00a0You will need empty, clean feed bags, however many you wish.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Roll the sides down about 3\/4 of the way.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Poke several holes in the bottom and on the sides around the bottom for drainage.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Fill with about 4 inches of potting mix.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Place seed potatoes on top of the potting mix, eyes up. I put in about 6 pieces.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Cover seed potatoes with another 4 inches of potting mix.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0Keep moist but not wet.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0After the plants have started to grow and there is 2 layers of greens, cover entirely with more potting mix. \u00a0You will also have to roll the sides up a bit. \u00a0By covering the plants up with soil, this will yield more potatoes. \u00a0If you skip this step, you won’t have as big a harvest.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0Once you have completely filled the bags, keep soil moist and once the plants start to die off, it’s time to harvest. \u00a0Simply turn the bag upside down and you’ll see lots of fresh potatoes! No digging required!<\/p>\n

\"Potato<\/a><\/p>\n

So now you have potatoes, now what? \u00a0Do not wash, put in a cardboard box and place in a cool, dark area like a basement for a few weeks to cure. \u00a0Then rub off any loose dirt and eat or, depending on the variety, store. \u00a0Easy Peasy!<\/p>\n
