6 Grow Bags - How do I get as many Potatoes as possible

Your post is about as many potatoes as possible then you change to crops... what do you actually mean? What do YOU want to grow?

Potatoes are not meant for growbags.. in containers yes...

Why dont you pop in to the introduce yourself and say a few words about yourself so we know what you grow etc. and add your location to your profile so we can see where you are..

Thanks for the replies.

To clarify what I mean, I would like to know the best varieties to plant and when in order to get the best returns. I've picked up some potato grow bags today so assume they are ok for potatoes?

Thanks for the advice on the variety's to try. How do the main crop take up more room? I've been told in the grow bags to plant 3 seeds per bag. Is this usually different for the main crop?

Thanks for the advice, learning every day

I'd agree with what has been said so far about maincrops.  They are not easy to grow in bags and I think you may be disappointed with the return on these. 

When you plant spuds in the ground the spacing for main crops is much wider than for earlies and so if you translate this to your bags, they are bigger plants that need more room, so will do less well in a confined space.

First and second earlies are easier and planting density will depend on the volume of compost your bags take.  Do you have an idea of what this might be?

I have some first earlies this year to start in the greenhouse for an early crop.  They are very different to eat when freshly harvested so well worth growing

By "grow bags" I thought you meant the long tomato etc. type...

I wouldn't bother with main crop spuds - they are so cheap in the shops so not really worth it.
