They've been surprisingly easy. These Yukon gold potatoes grow fast!

Remember to cover up the plant with dirt all the way to the top of the pot- you'll get more potatoes that way.

Thank you for the tip.

Nice! What kind of soil are you using?

[-] SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Thank you. I'm using a cheap potting soil from Canadian Tire. I'd like to start composting one day to make my own but my apartment is prone to pests.

A tire company that makes soil?

Think like home depot, but with auto parts

And their own alternative currency system with a distribution that dwarfs several internationally recognized nation-states.

Looks great. I know they sell potato bags that you can unzip to harvest the potatoes without having to dig the whole plant up.
