Potatoes can also be planted in tubs or special potato bags.

Salad or early varieties are the best choice for growing in this way.

• Choose a large pot which has drainage holes.
• Cover the holes so that the compost will not wash out
• Place a 10 centimetre layer of compost in the bottom.
• Place two or three potato tubers on top on the compost.
• Cover the tubers with more compost.

If the compost is dry, water just so it becomes damp
