Part 4/8:
Layering the Soil: Fill the container a third full with a mix of soil and slow-release fertilizer, such as blood fish and bone meal. Place the potatoes with shoots facing up, cover them with soil, and prepare for potential additional layers depending on the potato variety.
Mulching: A two-inch mulch layer on top serves several purposes: it retains moisture, regulates temperature, and prevents potatoes from greening as they grow.
This straightforward process allows anyone—from farmers to apartment dwellers—to grow potatoes with minimal hassle.
