How to: How to grow potatoes in a grow bag




  • Plant potatoes when the soil is 43 F or higher
  • Use seed potatoes (not supermarket potatoes) cut into chunks with at least two spuds on each chunk. Plant chucks with the spud up in 6 inches of soil.
  • Do not water for the first 2-3 weeks until leaves emerge. After leaves emerge water when it is dry.
  • When the plant is 12" tall add 6" more soil (it is okay to cover the bottom leaves)
  • Let the plan grow another 12" and then add 6" more soil.
  • New potatoes can be harvested in 7-8 weeks after planting.
  • You can harvest full size potatoes when the foliage dies
