Potato Tower: how to make it for maximum production (Page 3 ) | February 4, 2024

• Plant the seed potatoes with their eyes facing up in the soil layer.
• Set them apart by roughly 6 inches.
• Add more dirt and compost on top of them.

5. Keep Building Up:

• As the potato plants grow, continue to cover the stems with more soil-compost mix and add layers of straw around the tower’s sides, keeping only the top few inches of the plant visible.
• More potatoes grow along the buried stems as a result of this.

6. Maintenance and Watering:

• Frequent watering of the tower will keep the soil damp but not soggy.
• Refrain from overwatering as this can cause decay.

7. Gathering:

• When the foliage begins to yellow and die back, potatoes are ready to be harvested.
• To reach the potatoes, carefully remove the dirt and straw off the tower’s sides.
