Build a Potato Bin

The easy, no dig way to fresh potatoes

Building a potato bin is an easy way to grow potatoes. Use metal lathe, hardware cloth, or metal fencing.

Form a circle with the lathe or fencing and secure with wire. Add soil to the bottom, and then add seed potatoes. Cover with a few inches of soil. As the potato plants grow, add more soil. By the end of the season, you'll have a bin full of potatoes.

For more complete bin construction instructions see my article at Suite 101.
