Potato Towers are an easy way to grow and harvest potatoes in your home garden. Bamboo fencing is easy to acquire, and is a reusable and renewable resource. We cut our rolls in half and made two towers for the VCoop backyard garden. Here is a picture of the tower a week after firstt planting. We had a bag of potatoes that were sprouting in the kitchen. We dropped 'em in and they took off.
As the plants grow, we kept adding straw and compost, burying the new growth up to the height of the newest leaves, a month later the plants have already reached the top!
We'll keep adding pictures here as the tower goes through it's cycle. Start yours now and grow with us!
They thought of every detail, like routing the edges for a nice finished look. Next time you consider building a fence, give bamboo some serious thought. Here's the pics: concrete fence
