![Pulled over 1700lbs of potatoes out of the garden today. [720x430 - 28KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/w5Dy0d.jpg){kind=link}
I've been trying them in containers but it is barely worth it. Any tips?

We planted ours in the ground, and surrounded with hay, so only the top of the plant was sticking out.

I plant near the bottom of the container and then there is layer of wood chips. They sprout and it gets bushy but not many potatoes later on.

Don't use wood chips it pulls all the nitrates out. You have too use dirt in the container. Just enough to cover the potatoes about an inch, they will get about six inches, add more dirt up to the stem. The plant above dirt will only get 6 inches high.
These potatoes I just planted a few weeks ago (behind red stakes) I will have to add more hay soon. Will be ready for harvest by Sept. https://pic8.co/sh/nonUKO.jpg
