Default Potatoes in a tub????

The message
from "David W.E. Roberts" contains these words:

Time? Three or four minutes a fortnight?


If I allocate three to four minutes a fortnight to building the wooden
slatted box then it might be ready by Christmas :-)


Then again:
"Hammer, saw, nails, wood...damn - run out of time again". :-)))


To make a - plastic dustbin?

Has anyone grown potatoes in a large tub ?

I am thinking of lining a dustbin with a bin liner (both to have

drainage
holes) and growing some in it

cos i guess its easy to pile in soil to earth up

experience/advice please

I planted potatoes in plastic tubs bought from focus last year ( two

for
a
tenner) with some success but had trouble judging how much water to use

and
have no idea what to feed them with, so would appreciate some advice on

both
problems please.
By the way, I did remember to drill holes in the tubs.
