But in fact, you can grow potatoes in little spaces using wood boxes.
There is well-known method of planting your potatoes in layers within a tall box where you’re essentially building a potato growing high rise.

Building the box

First of all, you need for building the box:
* six 2-inches by 6-inch boards eight feet long and eight feet long;
*one 2-inhes by 2-inches board 12 feet long;
*2 ½-inch wood screw(96 of them) (You’d better use pine, cedar or redwood, which will resist rot londer).

To build the box cut the 2-by-2 into four lengths of 33 inches. Cut the 2-by-6 boards into 12 lengths of 12 inches, and 12 lengths of 24 inches.

Per-drill the screw holes in 2-by-6 boards and attach the box bottom row on the 2-by-2s.

Planting potatoes in box

Place over prepared soil and full with soft soil and mulch. You should plant seed potatoes four inches deep in prepared soil.

When the vines are about 12 inches above soil, add another board to box and fill with soil.
Be careful not to cover more then one third of the potato plant.
As the potatoes plant grows and you can fill the new space with mulch or soil adding sides to the box.

Harvest

You can wait for a full harvest or if you’re getting antsy for some garden fresh potatoes you can pop a board off the bottom and steal some of the mature potatoes.

Rather soon after planting, you can start removing the bottom boards from your box and carefully reach in for the new potatoes. Replace the soil and the boards. Next time you need potatoes, remove the second board of box 3and “rob” potato tubers from that level.

Growing potatoes in boxes is a really great solution!
