Planting Tips

1. Moisten the soil and compost mix thoroughly. Fill about 1/3 full (6"-8" deep) with a 50/50 mixture of garden soil and compost.

2. Evenly space 3 to 5 seed potatoes and/or pieces ("eyes up" ) and cover with 3 inches of soil.

3. As the potatoes continue growing, continue adding soil/compost mix until you reach the top of the grow bag.

4. Water regularly. During hot and dry summer days, potato plants should be watered once every 2 to 3 days. During cooler days with rainfall, potatoes may not need watering at all.

5. Look for signs when the leaves start yellowing and the stems wilt. Then stop watering and wait a week or two. Potatoes are ready for harvesting when more than 50% of the leaves have turned yellow.

Fabric grow bags are much better at controlling the temperature and water content of your growing medium than traditional plastic pots. In the cold, the fabric will keep your plant warmer, and in the hot sun your plant will be kept cooler, so it doesn’t overheat. (ps: fabric bags may need more frequent watering, it’s because of the porous material which is less likely to hold in excess water as the old plastic pot materials do.)

Air Pruning Function

Fabric grow bags help to alleviate the issue because as the roots meet the edges of the fabric pot, they sense the drier soil that is exposed to the air. At this point, they know they have reached their growth limit. The roots become “air pruned” which is vital to growing healthy plants in containers. You will also get many more fibrous roots when air pruned. A more fibrous root system (many small root tips) allows the plants to take in more nutrients and water.
