potato project 2014 II

since the plant will not set tubers below the depth it is planted at i put a shallow layer of pure compost in the bottom of the pot and planted the tuber as low in the container as i thought would allow for the development of a robust root system...the second photo is of the haul from the containerized plants that had died back and the third is of them cleaned up and weighed...another ten ounces and change of organic spuds in the bowl which is beginning to overflow...time to eat...the bottom photo is of a couple of purple valley potatoes i cut to callous...they will be going into the larger containers.
