g'day rob,

can't vouch for the tyre system i wouldn't use tyres myself, but maybe
you went higher than was needed?

i tried growing them in 44 gallon plastic drum cut in 1/2 and when
they got tall enough i had so i could add the other 1/2 of the drum,
the results absolutley like your though maybe better i did get some
spuds about 1 or 2 per plant also tried just using 1/2 a drum but no
good either.

now i just simply lay my seed 'taters on the ground and start to mulch
around them up to about 18" or 20"s high as they grow, then leave them
and the results are much better a return of 5:1, but for no real
effort that isn't tooo bad.
