Jim Dandy:Certainly can get a big enough container , I've used a plastic rubbish bin put some compost in the bottom , put a couple of seed spuds in and as the tops grow keep filling up with compost, just leave a bit of green showing all the time and make sure you put in enough holes for excess water to drain off.

skipinnz: Canada is no slouch in the potato industry.PEI taters are amongst the best,but it always tastes better when you grow it yourself.I'll do some asking around,thanks.
