Potato growing was never so fun. In the beginning of the season roll some burlap bags down till they are just a few inches tall. Place compost in the bag and nestle some seed potatoes down in it. As the potatoes foliage grows through the season continually add compost to the bag around the potato stems making sure to leave about 6 inches of stem and leaf uncovered at all times. As you mound soil up the growing stems the potatoes will naturally send off more roots causing more great tade’s to form. At the end of the season simply slice open the side of your potato sack and behold the glory. Potato harvest was never so easy! Burlap bags are yet another coffee industry waste product available for free locally through Peace Coffee.
