You don’t need several acres of land to grow your own food. In fact, according to Chef Orr, all you need is a basket and some compost to grow your own potatoes!
- Take any type of basket – plastic, terracotta, wooden, etc.
- Fill with compost
- Cut seed potatoes into pieces (each piece should have a few eyes on them)
- Let them dry out for a few days so they develop a moisture barrier
- Plant them eyes up in the compost
Growing potatoes in baskets like this protects them from moles and other critters.
