So those are 3 Potato plants per tire tower right ??. and how many potato's do you end up getting per tire tower or plant at harvest time, ??. How many tires high do you end up with ??.
AL
I planted one bag each of the $3.00 bag of seed potato at walmart of the yukon gold and cal white, then about 4 potatoes each in the other two that were just left over eating potatoes russet.
The rest of the answers I don't know yet, this is my first year to attempt this. I have heard you can get huge amounts per tower, and that in a growing season here you can get 4-5 tires tall.
so around 4-5 seed taters per tower right. and what is the ratio of dirt, leaves, straw mixture per tower. Ok cool I have to make a dump run with my big trailer on friday to dump jobsite junk so I may pick up a whole bunch. I was thinking earlier of putting several 2 tire high planters with squash, cucumbers, and such out near the chicken coop condo to feed chickens with, so that may work this year after all.
