Have any of you used these potato bags? These are by Ferry-Morse and run $8 at Wally World. I'm thinking of trying them out, but wanted some feedback first. Thanks.

I just planted for the first year my potatoes in a patio potato grow bag (from the UK, which looks very similar) so I'm hopeful, my parents have used them (and they are common and popular in the UK).

Anyone use one of these... Empty potato bags

Post  curio 2/22/2012, 11:34 am

We've used something similar in the past with fairly good results. Last year we decided to build a potato box that increase in height as the plants grow until they flower. Our results were so good with that method that this year we are building two more.
I harvested roughly 40 pounds of gourmet fingerling potatoes in a space that is 2x2'. Shocked

Anyone use one of these... Empty Question for Curio

Post  PeonyLover 2/22/2012, 12:30 pm

Wow! Curio, that's great. I've had a row garden for awhile and this year i'm converting to SFG. My potatoes last were ok-but not great I'm sure I didn't hill them enough and the ground is a bit hard. I was thinking of building boxes, but these bags would be easier to store and move if needed.
Question-Curio how many potatoes did you plant in that 2 X 2? I will be planting Red Norland, Yukon Gold, Blue Adirondacks, and Jewell SP. I'm trying to figure out if I want to to built four 2 X 2 or go with bags.

Anyone use one of these... Empty number of seed potatoes planted

Post  curio 2/22/2012, 2:22 pm

We planted 10 tubers of each variety last year in the same box (one on each side), so roughly one pound each. This year we will be planting 2 pounds of each, with their own boxes.

Great-thanks. I'm leaning toward trying the bags and planting 4 seed potatoes per bag. We'll see. lol
