If you want to grow potatoes in your garden but you are limited by space, then here is an ingenious trick to get you started! A potato tower is an excellent solution. Ranging from two to four feet high, these simple vertical gardens are constructed of a cylinder of metal fencing lined with straw and filled with soil. Simple to build, they also produce a high yield.
The project in the above photo is using different materials but grown with the same basic idea.
