[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 2768271, member: 1827"] We want to try the stack box method this year. Build a box out of 1x6 deck boards. Im doing them 32" square. Plant taters. When the plants get 8-10" tall, add soil so only 3" is sticking up. Repeat adding box wall sections as necessary as you go up. Supposedly the plants keep adding on more potatoes as you bury the stems and you can get 150# of taters from a 3 or 4' box. We shall see. Not putting all my taters in one box and will be trying a couple different methods. One box will get soil, the other box will get straw, and we will plant a patch "regular" style in the garden to compare results. [/QUOTE]
