I was thinking of digging them out, and putting them in the ground in

The reason why I was thinking of doing this, is because #1, there are
like 8 or 9 plants growing out of the top of my compost bin and they are
taking up alot of space, and because #2 while 4 or 5 of the potato
plants are small ( only a couple inches tall ), there are 3 or 4 potato
plants that are like 2 feet tall!!!!!!

If you have my luck, anything you transplant stunts the growth
for a while, so you're better off leaving them alone. They've
done good so far, no reason to move them.
