This year, our fantastic gardening friends, Ellis and Ben, introduced us to the Potato Tower (see below). Instead of uprooting your entire garden looking for potatoes you planted months ago, the Potato Tower allows you to simply unhook the wire mesh frame and watch your potatoes tumble out in front of you (at least that's what we're hoping!)
To make your own Potato Tower, plant bits of sprouted taters in layers about a foot a part near the edges of the frame. In a few weeks, we expect to see lots of leaves bursting out the sides. I wonder what my grandpa, the farmer, would say about this technique...?
is that regular dirt or potting soil in the tube?
