  2. Nice potatoes ! I saw that big black cricket-like insect sneaking around the bottom of the box just after you cut it open. Nice experiment !!! Your secret soil mix and hilling up with chopped leaves was a big reason why the potatoes did so well.

  3. Awsome bud,have done the same in white poly bins with exce😂llent results.Cheers bud 👍👍👍👍.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Good Dog Tuk ❤❤❤❤

  4. I read a comment on another site that says to be aware the Amazon uses pesticides in their boxes. Any truth to that?

  5. Thanks so much for sharing. I have a box of sweet potatoes that I’m waiting to harvest in a couple of months. Thanks for letting us know what you use for fertilizer. I’ve never used that. I will have to get some. Harvest, sweet potatoes, boxes, flowerpots and I had quite a few and they were delicious. You can still reuse those boxes for your gardens for mulch and compost so it never ends🤣🤣

  6. That's so funny just a day I put a couple of Amazon boxes in my garden shed planning to plant something in them LOL

  7. Wow. I have always wanted to try planting potatoes. This was so cool! Can you start potatoes at multiple times in a season?
