you are better with rubble sacks rather than bin bags

roll the top of the bag down, put in layer of soil -topsoil is fine

plant your spuds and cover with more soil

as they start shooting up unroll the bag a little way and add some more soil

you will need to chit your seed pots first but it's pretty easy

not sure about fartichokes though lol

Chitting your seed potatoes, it is where you let your seed potato grow some roots for want of a better word there are arguments for both chitting and not chitting. I do chit, I can't tell you why, I just do.

chitting potatoes vid here

potatoes in bags vid here

ooh iwant to do this too this year, when is the right time to plant them? And what varieties are good for growing in bags?

To chit or not to chit....

I like this potato in a bag idea though. Hmmm.
