I was going to post this in packyderms_wife's thread on Gardening For The Grand Solar Minimum but I thought it might get lost. This concerns the possibility of potato shortages or most likely huge price increases.
I don't know how to post a YouTube video, but there is a guy in Newport, Va. with some great gardening videos, look for Hollis and Nancy. He grows potatoes in buckets and large planters. In one video he shows step one all the way through to harvest. It is impressive and I'm going to try it and thought some here might want to do it too.
I don't have enough ground to dedicate to potatoes so I'm going to use his method and plan to have buckets of potatoes stuck all over the yard.
I have really enjoyed his YouTube site.
