add another tire and more soil, you want to bury most of the plant and let it grow back. the part of the plant you buried will have more potatoes after it turns to roots! keep doing this as high as you want for more and more potatoes!

but make sure your soil is nice and loose or they won't grow well.

could be.. some stuff?
idk but for potatoes what i said works. I heard of some local bud in my area that was supposedly grown in a tire that's some killer stuff! but I've never seen it for my self, could be a myth or long gone by now.kikkinurazz3

They send out tubes horizontally and will keep doing so as you add more tires. You can fill the tires with more soil or just mound loose straw and water it and they will grow in it too.

Potatoes grow well in tyres but it is not a practice that i use. Reason being the potato plant stores everything it sucks out off soil in it's tubers. Tyres being made mostly of oil and other shit, slowly leach out into the soil and are taken up by the tuber. You then eat the tuber and all the shit that has leached out in the dirt. I just thought i would throw that out there

I was under the impression you needed a lot of room for potatoes which is why I've never tried growing them. Is this not true ?

use an old aluminum trash can to grow your potatoes. when its time to harvest just tip it over

Lay your seed potato on top of the ground. Cover with straw mulch. Water. Vines will soon appear. Cover with more mulch. Water and repeat. By repeatedly piling mulch over the new vines it keeps them working in that spot instead of them spreading all over hell and half of creation. But even then you can train them by turning them back. When the vine dies back in the fall remove the straw and pick your potatoes up. No digging. No deformed spuds. Nute like you would if they were in the soil and not on it.

One night I was drunk and pissed when I went to make a baked potato, and found my whole 10lb bag had eyes coming from them and they weren't even a week old, so I tossed them out the back door into the garden, went out the next morning and buried them, but nothing ever came of it.
Somebody later told me you only cut the eyes and plant them, though that doesn't sound right to me.
Of course, it might have helped if I had removed them from the plastic bag first
