I used an Old Roy dog food sack for my Topsy Turvy. Their a woven plastic fiber. Only fear I have is that the cotton strings might rot out to soon. Next time I'll restitch them with plastic baler twine. They are working great and didn't cost anything. A plastic barrel makes a great potato grower. Put some small gravel in the bottom, about six inches and drill a couple small drain holes, but not too many or too big. Put a little dirt on top of that and plant the spud. As the potato grows keep adding dirt so as not to cover all of the leaves. Water daily and alot. When the barrel is full of dirt keep watering hard and alot. Rain water works best if you can catch it. If the the leaves start to yellow back off the water a bit. When the plant dies don't think you have to "dig the spuds" right away. They will keep growing as long they have water for about ten days to 2 weeks. To harvest, tip the barrel over and roll it around. Kids love this part. If everything went even half good you should get a couple of 5 gallon buckets of yukon golds. Tires work too. Keep stacking them as the plant grows. Water is the key. 5 gallons when the barrel is full isn't too much. Taters are about 85%
water. Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
