I used cinder blocks last year and this yeas as well. I form a decent size square hole in the middle of them all and just yesterday I added a 3rd row of blocks. I also take advantage of the holes running along the outside edges through the bricks. Not sure how well those will grow but so far so good as everything I have planted is still growing. I also have 2 pots going as well. I did the pots last year and got a decent harvest from those too. Hopefully you will do well with the method you are trying! Good Luck!

How big is the block garden for the potatoes? How many blocks long and wide?
I have it set up as a square on the inside. In doing that you have to put 2 on each end and 1 on each side. 6 total blocks per level. I'll try to take a picture of it later today.
I would love to see it!
Here you go! I alternated the bricks for stability, I also want to point out that I did this on top of patio bricks to prevent anything from digging from below. I do have chipmunks that like to dig in there but I use a live trap and relocate them so they won't damage my plants.
Oh nice. Thanks for the pictures to help me visualize how this is working for you!
Hopefully you get a good harvest, make sure you make a harvest video and post it here then I can come back and let you know just how well I did! Thanks!
I will!
