So, I am on a quest again to find a new way to grow potatoes. I have tried many systems: planting in the ground, tires and a plastic bag. Recently, I was in a large retail store and saw a "potato pot". I was fascinated and envious when I see something so simple and easy. I think, "Why didn't I think of that?" So, like a true cheap do it your selfer...Here is my potato pot knockoff:

Now, you continue to water till you are ready for some potatoes. Apparently, you just lift the middle pot out and pull down the flap and dig out your potatoes and put it back. That way you can harvest as often as you would like without disturbing the plant. I will post to see if it works!
Happy Gardening!
