Make fencing into round columns, cut PVC pipe to height of column, and drill holes every six inches into pipe all the way around the pipe. Put a plastic bag over one end of the pipe and secure it with a rubber band. This is to keep the water in the pipe so it will flow outward through the holes.
Line the bottom and sides with straw. Then add compost, at least 6 inches worth. Now add seed potatoes. Cover with more compost and 6 more inches of straw.
Once the plants have grown out about 8 inches, then gently cover the stems with another 6 inches of straw. The tubers should form off of the stems so you can keep adding more straw until you reach the top.
I spent $3.48 on the seed potatoes so hopefully I will at least get a return on my initial investment. Here's to hoping for a good harvest!
