One of my favorite gardening tasks is to build our potato towers every year! If you have never built one before I strongly encourage you to attempt this project in your gardening adventures!
You can build your own potato tower on your homestead! More details on how to prepare the potatoes and cage are in my blog post.
First You will start off with a tomato cage, soil, and straw. Look for a good location they love full sun!
You will slowly step by step add more soil and pack in straw between the metal tomato cage and the soil to keep the soil and potatoes inside the tower.
Voila' you have beautiful potatoes just waiting to be cooked up and eaten by you in your kitchen! The edible garden concept is a beautiful thing! We so look forward to fresh potatoes every year and they go wonderful with our fresh eggs from our suburban homestead!
Enjoyed the project?

Karen W on Apr 23, 2014I own a preschool and we are goin outside gardening this year. i don't really want hay or straw in the playground area, as I don't want to get seeds in the sand area....is there another way to build up the inners of the tomato cage? Acutally I am thinking, I could make tinto hanging baskets, just the same!
