Do you want to grow potatoes this year? So do I!
However, I don’t have much space for them. Potato tubers are usually sold in two pound bags at the minimum, which is more than I can use of any one kind.
Let’s pool together and share an order of potatoes.
I would like to grow Cranberry Red, All-Blue, and German Butterball potatoes. The Seeds of Change catalog suggests that 2 pounds will plant 20 row feet. Potatoes should be planted 10 – 12 inches apart. I’m thinking we could split down to a half a pound, which will be 4 – 5 tubers, or a single 4 foot row, producing about 5 pounds.
If you want to share, fill out this order form completely. Each half pound will cost $3 including shipping, assuming I get enough of you to order with me. I will take orders until February 23 and request payment soon after. Seeds of Change expects to ship on March 15, after which pickup will be at my home in Clintonville.

I bought one of those Potato Grow Bags last year because I don’t have much room either. I bought it after the growing season started. http://www.gardeners.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Gardeners-Site/default/Link-Product?sku=36-629
Amber – are you using the potato bag this year, or did you use it last year? If you used it, was it successful? I am working on my “what I want to grow” list. I like the idea of potatoes.
Kristin, we’re also working on an outline of the potato tower method, purported to grow upwards of 70 lbs of potatos in a 2×2 foot area.
