@1996spiros Myman let me explane you,in ower's area you will dig a hole half an hour because of rocky hard soil,or you can just wait for a rain season,so for Israel it's good idea and compost does'nt cost so much here.

The best innovation for growing potatoes!I just can add that you can use almost only hay and just a little compost.

@jameselmore Sorry to correct you, but sodium does not make urine yellow. The yellow color in urine is due to chemicals called urobilins. These are the breakdown products of the bile pigment bilirubin. Human urine is a great source of Nitrogen, which is important if your compost is mostly carbon (e.g. leaves) like mine. Urine also contains many micronutrients. You should read up on composting urine. It makes a lot of sense.

Cut each seed potato into a few sections with eyes in each section.
Harden them overnight before putting them into your grow.
Greater yield.

how easy is that? HOW MORE EXPENSIVE IS FROM DIGGING A FUCKING HOLE 5 MINUTES?????????

@rbren1 fair enough, I was pointing out it was not cost effective.

@007Neutrin0 guess you have never had fresh garden potatoes then , nothing beats freshly dug taters , as opposed to the ones that have been sitting in bags and in a warehouse for months , any ways you keep eating them store bought potatoes and ill keep eating freshly dug taters and yes i store for winter as well, at least i know what has gone into my food

@007Neutrin0 It is funner and you know where your potatoes are coming from. Try it!

It would cost you more to grow them, as opposed to buying them. Just go down to your local supermarket and buy them, why waste your time growing them?

@GooglFascists My mother does that except she waits until the are gushing with plants all around and then just knocked them over.
This is an extremely inefficient way to grow potatoes, all of those products would cost well over $50 for maybe 25kgs of potatos at the most. You should be getting 25kg from each plant.

Want a potato tip from West Virginia? Find used tires,
hose 'em out, then fill the inside half full of dirt.
Lay seed potatoes around the inside of the tire. Fill the
rest of the way with dirt. First tire will be on the ground. Lay your next
tire on top the first one and do the same. Keep going til you
have 6 tires planted. Potato vines grow out between the tires & look
like bushes. When vines turn brown potatoes are ready. Knock top
tire off & potatoes fall out & so on. No digging!
