If you’re short on space in the garden, or just want a cleaner way to grow (and easier way to harvest) potatoes, then you could consider growing them in potato bags or sacks. Doing so makes it possible to grow them literally anywhere you have some available above ground space.
Recycled coffee sacks provide a natural grow bag for planting potatoes above ground at home, on your balcony, patio or in the backyard. They give the potatoes awesome air flow and drainage. They last one season and the coffee sacks can also be composted at the end of the process. In this video you can see how seed potatoes are planted in burlap sacks and grown almost all year round in San Diego…
