Make a 2-3ft wide circle, using wide square wire fencing. Start with bottom, layer few inches of straw around inner wire (Outside circle). Fill center w/ dirt. Repeat til about 4ft tall. Near bottom of tower (Layer1), plant 3 potato seeds (2 if towers diameter is less than 3ft), evenly, around the tower (Planting right through fence & straw, into dirt.) Then go up a foot or so, do another layer, alternating w/first layer seed positioning. (Keep in mind, dirt settles, and you don’t want to overcrowd layers) Repeat to about 3 layers
With Vinyl fencing support.. 2 snow poles. If using small square vinyl-Leave 10-12in space for grabbing lower, ready to pick, potatoes. No need if using larger squared fencing. Cut bottom of burlap open. Place around fence and lower. Plant seeds. Roll up burlap and keep adding dirt as stems show. Lift up bottom of burlap to take potatoes, as needed (I may or may not do that)… I also may put straw along the inside of fence (Outer inside circle) to help keep cooler and moist) For Idea Click Here – For More on this photo and on More of Our Tips, Tricks, and Decor
Indeterminate Potato Tower without extra support. I may just double up on burlap bags. Maybe once in while, as it grows, tie around with twine, to help support. Cut burlap bottom open. Place around poles, creating circle. Plant 3-4 seeds. Once stems show, move up bags add few inches of dirt. For Idea Click Here – For More on this photo and on More of Our Tips, Tricks, and Decor

Peas came along nicely.The Multi colored stepping stones are cheap stones painted. MY IDEA: To make a Candyland Version of a game for kiddos to play.

The kids can have fun going from color to color stones, eating the vegis/fruits along the way. Adds a colorful path, with a purpose. Give em a hoe while you’re at it… Get to work kiddo!

Soak Produce in Vinegar Mix for great results! https://dinkingaround.wordpress.com/2014/08/10/2014-gardening/
UPDATE: I had to cut burlap vertically (Making slits), because Potatoes grew upward, not straight out the hole. Grew up, then out. Burlap will stop it from getting the exit they need. Quick fix, with quick slice from razor blade. Easy. Determinate Potato Tower
