In my potato growing journey this year, I decided to do a little experiment. What happens if you plant potatoes and then just TOTALLY IGNORE them? No hililng potatoes, no watering, no fertilizing. NOTHING.
Well, to my surprise, I ended up having the BEST yields from this method out of the 5 that I tried: 5 gallon buckets, grow bags, raised beds, and in ground with hilling. Crazy, right? Just goes to show you have to always test and question conventional wisdom.
No need for a fancy potato tower, or a complex watering and fertilization schedule. Just learn how to plant potatoes a bit deeper than recommended and wait for those beautiful taters to pop out of the ground.
