Talkback: How to grow potatoes in a bag

13»

  • Growing them in special bags is a great way of planting potatoes. I've been using this method for a year and have found other alternative way of growing potatoes by using hydroponics.

  • Cool video - very informative about growing potatoes in bags yet easy to understand and follow. Please check out this blog post about my experiences growing potatoes at home using potato sacks

  • Could you tell me why I have no flowers on my potatoes?

    They were planted the same time as my neighbours and they have flowers. I used a mixture of compost and soil and fed with potash

    Some varieties of potatoes don't produce flowers - nothing wrong with them, it's just what they do, or rather don't do.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.





  • Useful but do we put them in the sun or in the shade?

    If we are not told, does it make a difference? I am about to put out my first potatoes.

    I'd go with as much sun as you can give them.

    Sunlight = energy.
