Potatoes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I plan to surround potato plants with 15 gal plastic pots with the
bottoms cut out and big holes drilled in the side. Fill the tub with mulch
and keep filling as the potato plant grows higher and higher. The plant will
supposedly grow potatos off the stems into the mulch. This is supposedly a
well-known way of increasing yield in a small space. I will use drip
irrigation. The question is, do I put the drip line on the surface of the
ground and just pile the mulch on top of that or do I put the drip line on
top of the mulch and let the water drip down through the mulch?

Last year I filled the tubs with a combo of straw and soil and dripped down
through the top. Only got potatos below the earth, not in the fill, but I may
have done the mulching too late as the plants were pretty big.

Does anybody have experience doing it this way?
