I would like to try growing potatoes this year.  A friend suggested 
growing them in containers with leaf mulch.  As the plant grows up, the 
idea is to continue adding leaf mulch to the base of the plant.  Because 
the mulch is so light, it will be easy to pile it high.  I could even 
try it in chicken wire frames.  The other advantage to using leaf mulch 
is that it will be easy to reach into and harvest new potatos without 
damaging the plant.  

Has anyone ever tried something like this?  Any ideas on how well it 
will work?  We have a lot of well composted leaf mulch.    Could sweet 
potatoes grow this way too?  


Thanks in advance,
