If you eat a lot of potatoes, you’ll want to consider trying this method to grow some. This super easy afternoon project can end up feeding you and your family for weeks, and it requires only minimal care.
What’s even better is that this potato tower can last throughout the growing season. Start one tower in spring to have potatoes through the summer, another in the summer to last until autumn and a final one in late summer to get you through to early winter. These towers keep warm and moist up until November, meaning you can feed your family even longer.
1-Choose the right location
Select a sunny spot in your garden or yard for the potato tower. Potatoes require at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily to thrive. Once you have the location, prepare the site by removing any weeds or debris.
2-Build the tower
Construct a cylindrical tower using fencing or chicken wire. The tower should be about 2 to 3 feet in diameter and 3 to 4 feet tall. The height allows for ample space for the potatoes to grow vertically, maximizing the yield in a small area.
3-Line the tower with straw
