Subject: Re: Is it possible to grow potatoes on an apt balcony?
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.
Jim Dandy: Well I'm getting ready to plant my seed potatoes but I'm in the southern hemisphere. Which will be the start of spring (Sept) thats as I want some by xmas, not sure where you are.

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.
