Growing potatoes in a tiny garden


It doesn’t matter how small your garden is, as long as there is sunlight and space for a grow bag, you can grow potatoes. The process of growing potatoes is actually very easy:

First things first, you’ll need to carefully plop a single chitted potato tuber into the bag of compost with the shoots pointing upwards, to a depth of around 12cm (5″) from the soil surface. You then cover the tubers with compost and water them. That’s it. Then continue to water whenever the soil starts to dry up but make sure they’re in a frost-free position. That’s all there is to it, no need to touch the soil, just let nature do its thing, and on the days when nature doesn’t want to help, bring out the watering can.
