How to Plant Potatoes in Bags?

Choose a large, sturdy grow bag with drainage holes

Place the bag in a sunny location

Fill the bottom with 4 to 6 inches of loose, well-draining potting mix or compost

Cut seed potatoes into pieces with at least one eye each, if needed

Let cut seed pieces dry for a day before planting

Place 2 to 4 seed potato pieces on top of the soil layer

Cover the seed potatoes with 3 to 4 inches of soil

Water lightly after planting

Add more soil as the plants grow, leaving the top leaves exposed

Repeat adding soil until the bag is nearly full

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist

Feed with a balanced fertilizer if needed

Harvest when the plants yellow and die back

Tip out the bag and collect the potatoes carefully
