The message
from "Jan" contains these words:

Regarding the recent discussion about growing potatoes in tyres and adding
tyres as the plant grows taller -- would it be possible to grow potatoes in
a black plastic bin liner, the liner rolled down initially, and rolled up
each time more soil is added?

Yes. Make some drainage holes in the bottom though. One proviso -
plastic bags might be degraded by sunlight, though blackness thereof
would serve to warm the compost and accelerate growth.

I'd suggest one sack inside another, because they aren't completely
opaque, and you may get gree tubers where they meet the plastic.

Or, is it possible to grow potatoes in buckets, the cheap type that are for
everyday household use?

Do you really want to make holes in the buckets?
