yes you can still grow potatoes in them usually all i do is push the
seed spud into the ground just a little and then cover with mulch and
keep mulching them as the plant grows, this replicates the tedious job
of growing in a trench and hilling, i get very good results and i
harvest using my hands no tools needed. plus the mulch is there early
to conserve moisture and minimise watering needs. also acts as a
thermal blanket keeping the soil cool or warm whatever the season.


What type of mulch do you use? Are you on sandy or clay soil?
