Everyone you talk to says growing your own potatoes in bags is easy. Well i have been doing it for two years now and i have had no luck with then i never get a full crop
Looked at all the you tube videos read all about it on this forum been there done that and still nothing . This is my second year at trying to grow potatoes in bags and for all i get out of it it,s not worth the hassle. I have now planted my christmas crop so we will see how they turn out. Used good compost some growmore as they come up in the bag i cover then over again with compost they just don't produce the yield they should. I was talking to a neighbour down the street and he only uses garden soil in his bags it would take three of my bags to fill one of his but he had them in the greenhouse till the end of May.So on his advice i am using garden soil this time also he tell me not to cover then over as they grow but build the soil round them leaving the leaves visible he says that is why i am not getting a good crop so one more try and lets hope it works out
