Can i grow spuds in a plastic bin ???????

[mooshy]

Have small garden which is completely taken up now every summer with fruit and veg.Have no room def. for potatoes but am sure i have read somewhere that i can have a go in a large bin or some tyres ?
I have a spare black lidded bin.
IF i can please can someone tell me how-if you do please explain as if you were telling a 4 year old as VERY amateur

I fancy having a go at this too, so am giving it a gentle bump.

Where would I place the bin - sunny or shady spot?
And a very strange question which shows how much of a novice I am - where do I get pototo seeds/shoots/tubers?

Most garden centres have seed potatoes for sale. B&Q were selling theirs off £1 a bag last week.
