Re: Fwd: potatoes above ground

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

On this same line, I have two old black plastic trash cans.  33 gal.
size.  Can I use these to do potatoes??  Would I put about 2' of soil
mix in the bottom and plant the potato plants and as the grew taller add
more mix till they were almost to the top?  I know I would have to put
slits in the bottom to let water out.  Would they get to hot?  Debbie
