You can grow potatoes pretty much anywhere, and honestly, it’s way easier (and more fun) than you think. They are a top staple in the human diet, along with wheat and rice. In fact, it’s the most common non-cereal crop grown worldwide and holds such significance that it’s been nicknamed the Apple of the Earth. This year, I went all in and tried eight different ways to grow spuds. I did the classic trench method, threw a frost blanket over some to see if a little extra warmth would make a difference, planted a few in buckets for a small-space approach, went twice as deep to see if depth really matters, messed around with the straw method, started some from actual seeds, added more soil as the plants grew to encourage more production, and even tested grow bags. If you decide to grow these terrific tubers, you’ll find yourself with a delicious harvest and definite bragging rights. After all, not many people can say they grow their own french fries! Follow along to see which method yielded the best results. 🥔
