Came across this nifty idea while trawling the pages of the time-sucking wormhole of inspirational prettiness DIY that is Pinterest. and yes, I was feeding my addiction of NEED MORE IDEAS while neglecting the completion of various other projects instigated by that very same site. DON'T JUDGE ME. but look, I conveniently wasted time so that YOU don't have to. apparently, this potato tower will enable you to plant several varieties of potatoes horizontally, with a potential yield of 25 pounds of pure potato in the fall. and not only is it far more aesthetically pleasing than the oft touted stacked tire method, harvesting in the fall is merely a matter of tipping the tower over, and leisurely gathering up all your produce. obviously, no digging is needed for planting or harvesting, which is definitely always a bonus in my book ( ironic, for the one with the degree in archaeology)... I've earmarked this for trial here in the spring, and conveniently enough I'll be able to use all those bits of woven wire netting I'm constantly saving. besides, all my tires have already been pressed into service under the gates as lamb barricades. Full, step by step directions can be found here.
