Potatoes are one of the most delicious vegetables in our wonderful world. Growing fresh potatoes is something I have always wanted to do, but always thought that I needed a vast area of land, and a planned garden to be able to do successfully. I began to have a completely different take on this delicious root vegetable when I discovered this potato growing idea inside a laundry basket video tutorial by Elise New on YouTube, I just knew I had to try it. I was amazed at the possibility of being able to grow gorgeous potatoes in a small space, such as a patio or porch. This project is so fantastic, even the person with hardly any outdoor space at all can grow a wonderful potato crop.
Materials You Will Need To Make This Project:
- A tall flexible laundry basket
- Some good potting soil (you can get a large bag of organic paying soil for vegetables at Home Depot for about $7)
- Potatoes to plant (sprouted)
- Newspaper (for the bottom of the potato basket)
- A knife (to cut holes in the bottom of the laundry basket)
Directions:
In this potato growing idea inside a laundry basket video tutorial by Elise New on YouTube, you will learn all the steps to grow a small crop of potatoes on a porch or in any small space using a laundry basket. You start by cutting holes in a tall flexible laundry basket.
Then, you will add the newspaper, sprouted potatoes, and soil. Simply water the freshly planted potatoes and soon you will have a crop of delicious potatoes.
This is a wonderful growing method, I wish I had found it sooner!
