GROWING POTATOES IN A CONTAINER
in Fruit & veg
Do you need 3 separate containers to get three stages of potato -i.e. one container for earlies, one for second earlies and one for maincrop - or can you harvest all three stages in one container - ie the first you harvest will be the smallest, and the last you harvest will be the main crop? Sorry if this is a dfim question but i am a complete novice! Any thoughts are welcome.

Growing in containers is a great way to get easy spuds but you do have to limit the number of seed potatoes depending on the size of the pot. You start off witha layer of compost and the potatoes and add more compost as they grow to mimic the earthing up you would do in the ground and to increase your crop. They need good feeding and regular watering too.
