I did this a couple of years ago (March?) using the standard B&Q black
builders' buckets, general purpose compost, and supermarket King
Edwards. Started by just covering the spud, then buried all but the
tips of the leaves as they grew. Ended up with a 4 foot spread of
foliage. When it started to die off I dug the whole lot up. Best spuds
I've ever tasted, and plenty of them.
I did the dame. Got a mammoth amount of top growth but very few tubers!
