This is also a very good way of recycling old car tyres. If you take a tyre, place it on a bed of Gravel to allow drainage then fill it with soil, then take your seed potatos and cut them so that you have a couple of eyes in each chunk then plant about 3 pieces in the tyre, wait till the resulting plants are about 8or 9" high then place another tyre on top andfill that with soil so that you have about 2 or three inches of plant protruding. Ifthe plant beneath the surface should throw out tap roots from which potatos will grow.

Continue doing this for about 4 tyres more and depending on the species you should end up with about 25 pounds of potatos for the use of very little space.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
