Potato Planter -- 2010

My first potato planter.


I simply nailed a 1x2 frame together and then screwed pine 1x4's to the outside in order to create a planter.  

 

I was careful to buy untreated wood since I planned to eat my potatoes.Then, I just built it up as the plants grew.





Once the plants got to be approximately four to six inches tall, I would hill them by piling additional soil around the base and leaves of the plant.
