Growing Potato Secretly.HELP!

18 years ago

Hi folks,

Due to some reason, I must secretly grow my potato secretly. I hope you poeple can give me some advice.

Due to space constrain, i need to grow this some where near my packing space of my apartment, but i can't let my neighbour know, cos they will steal my crop.

I was reading some where how to grow potato with a black plactis bag cover the top of the soil. I would like to use thie method, but i am very confuse with the method....

It is once I cover the black plastic on top of the soil, there is no need to treach up the soil? if that is the way, I will be much more easier, cos no need to treach up the soil and make people notice.

Weew

you can also grow them in a whiskey barrel or large container ( could be a garbage can?!, or in straw above ground.

it doesnt sound too happy to garden where you are, good luck.
