Growing a sackful of potatoes in the city is super easy. Watch my new 5 minute film, How to Grow Urban Potatoes for step-by-step instructions.

| All you need are a bag, sprouting spuds, compost, mulch and water (possibly enriched with worm juice). |
There’s many clever ways of making good use of space in small gardens. The simplicity and practicality of potato grow bags just makes so much sense – particularly in small urban food gardens, verge gardens, balcony gardens – but also for any kitchen garden that wants to use vertical growing space too.

| Potato grow bags – use whatever you can find as the sack. |
All you need to make a potato grow bag is:
- sprouting potatoes
- compost/rich potting mix
- sack or large bag
- handful of mulch
- water (enriched with worm farm liquid if possible)
 |
| Always select healthy sprouting potatoes to begin with. Here are kipflers and purple potatoes. |
