I am trying something different this year. I planted my Yukon golds in a 55 gallon plastic barrel cut in half. I drilled a few holes in the bottom. Started by laying down three inch thick straw. Sat the seed tater down and covered it with dirt. Tater came up. Covered it again except one little stalk. I have done this over and over. The dirt is now rounded 6 inches above the 1/2 barrel top and the tater is a foot and half tall. I have had no weeds at all, not one. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering if I'll have much yield or do I just have a neat looking plant? I dug down along one about eight inches deep and did not find a thing. I did notice the dirt was very warm. I have ten plants going this way. The ones that are in white plastic barrel seem to be a bit bigger that the blue barrels.
