Hello,

Following the advice from here (I'm so glad I found you guys!) I have
decided to grow potatoes in tyres. I've got some tyres but I'm not
sure if I'll need mo will I need 2 foot or 3 foot high columns?

In the garden centre today I saw a 'Netlon Centinal Potato Barrel'
it was about 2 feet high (60cm) and 18 inches (42cm) diam and
cost about 30 pounds.

The thing which drew my attention, was, that it had doors in the
bottom which, when the potatoes had developed, you could open
and pick the potatoes by hand without the problem of digging
them up and finding they weren't ready after all.

Could be much better than using tyres.

Alan
