Potatoes in containers in the patio

Has anyone ever done this?

I've done it once on a fairly small scale.

I'd suggest you go for one of the earlier, salad varieties - though this isn't necessary probably.

You can either use a container or a large empty compost bag turned inside out. Edit: make sure you put some drainage holes in the bag.

Place a couple of tubers (literally) on some compost towards the bottom of the container.  Add some more compost, probably to about halfway ish up?  When the leaves start growing through, add some more compost (this is like earthing up in open ground), repeat until you've run out of container.  If you're using the compost bag, start off with it rolled down about halfway, then roll it back up as the plants grow.

You can feel down inside the compost after the flowers have happened, to check the size of the spuds.  Don't forget to water loads.

It's the only way I grow potatoes becuase I don't have a lot of ground space.

Debz do you grow potatoes the same way as Yorkie?
