Re: Potatoes in Cages

[Tony Nelson-Smith]

  ...Even if you don't have lots of space, you can enjoy an amazing yield 
of potatoes by growing in a container...

  Bob Flowerdew, the unconventional member of a BBC gardening advice 
programme team, uses old motor tyres whose inner cavity is packed with 
straw.  He starts off with (say) two and, as the shoots appear above the 
surface, adds several more units, one by one.  The straw provides insulation 
for a very early planting and the earthing up increases the eventual yield.  
Haven't tried it myself, though!                      Tony N-S.
