Just found this.
No you don't have to ...Dean,<br /><br />Just found this.<br /><br />No you don't have to have boxes. It was an experiment of yet another way you can grow them.<br /><br />It did not turn out well for me. Not sure If I'll try it that way again and refine it, or just grow them in the ground. The goal was to grow vertically and save space.<br /><br />These were 2 by 2 feet and went up to 4 feet high.<br /><br />You are right. If you flip your compost pile, it will work faster. More oxygen will get to parts that were covered before.<br /><br />I have not had the time to forage for compost materials. I can't believe how busy we've been. I hope to be much more organized next year so we can be more on top of things. Whew!<br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-83373535638600211322009-07-27T11:45:01.365-04:002009-07-27T11:45:01.365-04:00Faith, I didn't realize you have to put boxes ...Faith, I didn't realize you have to put boxes around your potatoes. I just put hay over ours, right after they started coming up out of the ground. Out of the 8 plants, two of them continue to grow. Is the process to continuely keep them covered by hay, hence the boxes? Makes sense, and looks like the only way to contain the hay. How big are your boxes?<br /><br />Speaking of hay, do you compost yours? You can see a picture of my compost bin on my blog, I just moved it and added a bunch of hay to the bottom in hopes it would expedite decomposition by putting the original compost on top.<br /><br />R DeanR Dean "SlowDog"https://www.blogger.com/profile/12418818384030471849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-27343941550852166452009-06-02T22:00:29.926-04:002009-06-02T22:00:29.926-04:00Hey there!

Don't need to spray them really, but they should be in a warmer spot to avoid surprise spring frosts. :)<br /><br />Boy, oh, boy, would I love to have my whole house clean! I can't wait to do a complete spring cleaning, but it will likely wait until summer. <br /><br />~FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491898004275353526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639463329089942340.post-85494995516468842832009-06-02T09:09:08.221-04:002009-06-02T09:09:08.221-04:00Awesome pics Faith!
