Default Potatoes in Buckets

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

for
everyday household use?




Thanks for your replies, Jaques and Sue. I might give both the bucket and
the bin liner methods a try.

Another question - any recommendations for best type of potatoes to grow in
the confined spaces?

Thanks.
