Re: Regular Potatoes

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

I'll second Elizwelch's experience with potato towers from Gardener's
Supply.  I planted two of them last spring and harvested very little.  I'm
going back to the row method.  I plant one long row down the edge of a 20
ft. X 4 ft bed.  In the rest of the bed, I plant other crops like broccoli,
cauliflower, bush squash, lettuce, bush beans and kale.  I've always
harvested about 1 lb. per linear foot of potatoes using that method.  I
think that works out to about 1 lb. per 1-1/2 square feet.
