Tiny Space, Big Spuds: Homegrown Potatoes for All
Looking to grow your own fresh potatoes but have limited space? You don’t need a huge garden to enjoy homegrown spuds! Follow these easy steps to grow potatoes in even the tiniest of spaces.
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for seed potatoes, available at garden centers, to ensure healthy crops.
- Pick the Right Container: Use a large pot, bucket, or even a grow bag with drainage holes.
- Prepare the Soil: Fill the container with well-draining soil and compost for a nutrient-rich base.
- Plant the Seed Potatoes: Place the seed potatoes about 4 inches deep with the “eyes” facing up.
- Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Add Soil as They Grow: As your plants grow, add more soil to cover the stems and encourage more potatoes to grow.
- Harvest When Ready: After about 10-12 weeks, your potatoes will be ready to harvest when the plants start to die back.
